Theater HORA / Jérôme Bel Disabled Theater
[Dance]
For Jerome Bel, “disabled” describes a theater that is “altered, slowed down, weakened, artless.”
Following an invitation from Hora Theater, Jerome Bel has worked with intellectually challenged actors, placing the performers at the heart of the creative process. Their otherness and condition of minority is exposed to challenge social and theatrical conventions.
