American choreographer Trajal Harrell is one of the most important figures of his time. His unique style lies not only in his address of seemingly disparate dance languages and histories, but also in the subtle humour that pervades his work. After more than 20 years as a dancer and choreographer, Harrell has finally found the right context to realise an idea that has long been on his mind. With Music Music, he creates the seventh part of the series Histoire(s) du Théâtre and devotes himself to a central element of his artistic practice: music. For Harrell, music is not just accompaniment or stimulus for movement, but archived memory and history. In a new choreographic context, he now looks back on music that has remained in his consciousness. Revisiting/rehearing/re-feeling: what emerges after the passage of time? Music Music is an intimate and intense solo about the transformation of body and heart and thoughts over time.
