| Dampfzentrale: Trajal Harrell’s art triggers a place within us for which there are hardly any words. On stage, he radiates an irresistible and deeply moving presence – proud and vulnerable, elegant and wilful. Drawing on diverse dance forms, from voguing to butoh and contemporary dance, Trajal creates a language in which past and present, intimacy and dance history merge. Those who experience his work start to see humans differently. And yes, his performances sometimes move audiences to tears. |
The texts for this year’s Tanz in Bern draw from two sources: firstly, what the artists themselves write about their productions, and secondly, why each performance was curated for the festival with the theme of «Mensch!».
