Created by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet, this work delves into the social and political roots of dance. The first segment, \u0022Bal Imp\u00e9rial,\u0022 marks the bicentennial of Johann Strauss by juxtaposing Viennese music with Japanese percussion, all set in an evocative stage design and costumes by Tim Yip. The second segment, \u0022Bol\u00e9ro,\u0022 revisits the 2013 choreography, presenting an intense, visceral dance to Ravel's dramatic crescendo, enriched by artistic influences from Marina Abramovi\u0107.","start_date":"2025-11-19","end_date":"2025-11-25","date":"19 - 25 November","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20251119T190000Z","timing_end_date":"20251119T210000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20251120T180000Z","timing_end_date":"20251120T200000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20251121T190000Z","timing_end_date":"20251121T210000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20251123T140000Z","timing_end_date":"20251123T160000Z"},{"timing_start_date":"20251125T183000Z","timing_end_date":"20251125T203000Z"}]}
