Renowned French contemporary choreographer Jerome Bel teams up with Pichet Klunchun, the exhilarating classical performer of Thai ‘Khon’ mask dance in this remarkable performance. The hottest contemporary dance duet in Europe this year, Bel and Klunchun will perform their conversation which explodes all notions of contemporary dance. This performance has played in 22 cities since its premiere in December 2004 in Bangkok.
On stage, the two dancers reconstruct a theatrical report of their experience working together. Throughout the piece, they alternate between asking questions of one another, and offering each other and the audience short dance demonstrations. The success of this most original dance documentary performance is that it brings together two artists who share humour, sense, and a great openmindedness despite being worlds apart.
