French choreographer Jérôme Bel is one of the most important choreographers in the history of contemporary dance. His conceptual dance practice has led to an historical change in the fields of dance, theatre, and contemporary art. His innovative and daring performances, presented in a simple and clean manner, have challenged the very definition of convention and the avant-garde. Essentially, all of his works explore the meaning of a performance, and also what it means to be human.

In 2021, Bel returned to his performative roots, presenting the eponymous work Jérôme Bel in the seemingly straightforward format of a lecture performance. True to its name, the piece traces the highs and lows of his three-decade choreographic career as well as his personal journey spanning over fifty years. Audiences not only experience a masterclass in contemporary performance but also witness how an artist confronts, with unflinching honesty, the relationship between his creative practice and his own existence.
