The Köln Concert
The space transforms into a living musical score set to a legendary Keith Jarrett concert. Trajal Harrell celebrates the diversity of dance, from vogueing to Butoh, fusing their energies. With whirling flames, majestic birds and ancient figures, the dancers reinvent beauty and each body becomes music itself.
