Jérôme Bel’s<br />
The Show Must Go On<br />
A cult figure on the international dance scene, Jérôme<br />
Bel brings the Irish premiere of one of his most notorious<br />
works to <strong>Cork</strong>. Considered his signature work, The Show<br />
Must Go On is a delightfully subversive game of anticipation<br />
and expectation that blurs the line between spectator<br />
and spectacle. Provocative, ironic and anti-theatrical this<br />
show has charmed and outraged audiences around Europe<br />
and North America since debuting in 2001. Featuring 18<br />
performers, 18 pop classics and 1 DJ, be prepared for a night<br />
at the theatre like you’ve never experienced.<br />
Jérôme Bel received a Bessie Award for the performances<br />
of The Show Must Go On in New York in 2005.<br />
“Bel’s work is genuine, if ephemeral, it is exciting,<br />
smart and great, great fun.” DANCE EUROPE<br />
“Provocative, cerebral and funny, this minimalist work<br />
erases the comforting distance between performer and<br />
spectator.” THE NEW YORK TIMES<br />
