Presentation

CURTAIN proposes a solo by Jonah Bokaer about another dancer David Hallberg, who joined the Bolshoy Ballet in 2011 as a principal dancer. For this creation, Jonah Bokaer welcomes also the plastic artist Daniel Arsham who developed a “non-Newtonian substance” that evolves in the choreography. A 1984 lecture that John Cage gave to his students is broadcast in a stereo-centrifuge installation.
