One of the most prominent figures on the contemporary scene, the American choreographer Trajal Harrell – winner of the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Biennale – presents an intimate and intense solo piece exploring the transformation of the body, the heart and the mind over time.

The uniqueness of Trajal Harrell’s style lies not only in his ability to weave together dance languages and narratives that appear seemingly distant from one another, but also in the subtle humour that runs through and animates his works.
After more than twenty years as a dancer and choreographer, Harrell – named ‘Dancer of the Year’ by Tanz Magazine in 2018 – has found the ideal context to give shape to an idea that has long been with him. With Music Music, he presents the seventh instalment of the Histoire(s) du Théâtre series, focusing on a central element of his artistic practice: music.
For Harrell, music is not merely an accompaniment or a stimulus for movement, but sedimented memory, a living archive of experiences and history. In a new choreographic context, the artist returns to the music that has inhabited his consciousness over the years. Listening again, revisiting, hearing anew: what emerges after the passage of time?
