Jérôme Bel & Estelle Zhong Mengual

Non human dances

24.8. ● Beyond the Stage | Moderation: Ana Vujanović

English & French
with German & English surtitles

Minimum age: 12 years

Duration 1 h 15 min

What does it look and feel like to dance the nonhuman? How to become a body other than our own? Choreographer Jérôme Bel and art historian Estelle Zhong Mengual examine the Western canon of dance history for answers to these seemingly impossible questions. In an exhibition of dances spanning three centuries, they echoe the urgency of the ongoing ecological crisis while simultaneously enriching our sensitivity towards other forms of life. “Non human dances” is a radical return to the equality of all living beings.
