Dans

In The Romeo, Trajal Harrell weaves together ballroom, butoh and ancient Greek theater into a playful choreography about tradition and connection. With the Zurich Dance Ensemble, the Silver Lion award winner creates a dance experience that brings the audience together. Imagine if there was one dance form for everyone - a style that unites people, regardless of origin, age or gender. Early in his career, American choreographer Trajal Harrell made a name for himself with performances in which he wove influences from the Harlem ballroom scene with postmodern dance, voguing and Japanese butoh. In 2024, he founded his own dance company, Zürich Dance Ensemble. That same year, he was awarded the Silver Lion at the Venice Biennial. Harrell consistently explores themes such as gender, feminism and postcolonialism. His performances are playful and hybrid, moving freely between fashion, pop culture and avant-garde, informed by a strong knowledge of art and dance history. In the kaleidoscopic The Romeo, Harrell forges with fifteen fashionably dressed dancers, humor and compelling music a polyphonic dance between butoh, ancient Greek theater and vibrant choreography.
