Jérôme Bel lives in Paris and works worldwide, making dances since 1994. He politicises his questions, aware of the crisis involving the subject in contemporary society and the forms its representation takes on stage. He shows a preference for the community of differences over the formatted group, and a desire to dance over choreography.
