Choreographed by Trajal Harrell and performed with the Zürich Dance Ensemble, this work for three performers merges voguing with postmodern dance. Drawing on butō and modern dance vocabularies, the piece positions the body as a vessel of memory and historical imaginaries. Harrell’s made-to-measure adaptation balances minimalist formality and stark gestures with the flamboyance and performativity of vogue, underscored by echoes of jazz, funk and R&B. The result is a layered, speculative choreography that reframes dance histories and collective memory.
