Choreographer

Dancer and choreographer Trajal Harrell stages this unlikely meeting of musical geniuses in one of the most emotional works of his career.

Harrell is known for his ability to deconstruct and reimagine dance forms ranging from voguing and runway to postmodern dance and Butoh, creating a singular style infused with humor and poignancy. Returning to FringeArts, Harrell performs alongside six members of his company, the Zürich Dance Ensemble. With precise movements and deep feelings, the dancers find resonances between Michell’s lyrical tracks and Jarrett’s gospel- fused improvisations. At turns statuesque and playful, the international cast delivers a moving exploration of human vulnerability.

The Köln Concert

FringeArts

Arriving at the Cologne Opera in 1975, Keith Jarrett noticed the piano he was about to play on was not the right one. Despite his annoyance, he embarked upon an hour-long improvisation, the recording of which became one of the highest-selling albums in the history of classical music and jazz: The Köln Concert.
