Overheard at Gala

Posted September 14th, 2016

Last night Jérôme Bel’s Gala had its Philadelphia premiere as part of the 2016 Fringe Festival and for all those in attendance it was a revelatory evening of unabashed dance from some fantastic local dance lovers. For those who missed it, lucky for you there are still two opportunities to see it, tonight and tomorrow night! In case you need any more enticement just check out what audience members had to say post-show:

“Just so much joy.”

“My heart believes in people again.”

“YAAAAASSS.”

“That was like The Sincerity Project… but for dance.”

“My face hurts I’ve been laughing so much. And you can see I’m still crying. Oh, the guts those people have!”

Gala last night… I think my heart exploded! Seriously, I’ve been so stressed lately, and it was just what I needed.”

Gala was moving (all senses of the word) and a total hoot! The entire show is phenomenal on many levels, and a joy!”

Gala in the 2016 Fringe Festival was one of the most joyful, moving, and essential works of art I’ve encountered in my life. Seriously, Philadelphia. This is not a drill. GET TO THIS SHOW.”

Gala just kicked my ass in the best way. If you can get a ticket, do it. I haven’t felt that much life in a theatre in a while. So much joy in one place.”

“I laughed, I cried, I did all the emotions. It was amazing.”

“I think it moved every audience member body and soul.”

“Oh my gosh, yas.”

“I absolutely love it.”
