Digital Playbill: Jérôme Bel (2021)
Through a combination of lecture, archival video excerpts, and live dance, French choreographer Jérôme Bel constructs a genealogy of the driving forces behind his work — what he calls an “auto-bio-choreo-graphy.” For ecological reasons, Bel and his company do not travel by plane. For this performance, Philadelphia dancer Megan Bridge serves as director and translator, in addition to portraying Bel on stage.

“A Mexican bar man. An Austrian sales rep. A trip to Baghdad. A modern-day magic potion. Unsettlingly uplifting cowboy dances. Creators Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper of Nature Theater of Oklahoma (named after the theater in Kafka’s novel Amerika) and internationally renowned Slovenian dance troupe EN-KNAP Group follow the American Dream from a Wild West saloon to the battlefields of Iraq.”

“I don’t like any female comedians… a woman doing comedy doesn’t offend me but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world.” – Jerry Lewis

From the Blog: June 1st, 2018Digital Playbill: ¡BIENVENIDOS BLANCOS! Or WELCOME WHITE PEOPLE!
¡Bienvenidos! Welcome! What a pleasure! Please come in. Theater artist Alex Torra and Team Sunshine Performance Corporation present the world premiere of ¡BIENVENIDOS BLANCOS! or WELCOME WHITE PEOPLE!, a Spanish-language, ensemble-devised performance work that examines privilege, exploitation, and the complexities of Cuban-American history and cultural identity. Drawing on Torra’s personal experience as a Cuban American, the work “endeavors to make apparent the particularities of a certain corner of the current American landscape—that of the Latino American with one foot in their ethnic heritage and one in a dominantly white culture.”
