"The Show Must Go On" Performers for the Japanese version wanted!

"The Show Must Go On"
A masterwork by Jerome Bel that revolutionized the dance scene worldwide
Co-presented by Festival/Tokyo 11 and Saitama Arts Theater

Performers for the Japanese version wanted!

The performance of Jerome Bel's "The Show Must Go On" in Japan will be co-presented by Festival/Tokyo 11 and Saitama Arts Theater. This work created a stir in the European theatre world by radically questioning the principles of stage dance. After it's premiere in Paris in 2001, it toured more than 50 cities all over the world and has in the meantime become a part of the repertoire of the Lyon Opera Ballet. In 2005, Jerome Bel won a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award) for "The Show Must Go On". The piece gathers men and women of different ages and occupations who perform extremely well-known pop songs that almost everybody feels familiar with, on stage.
We are currently seeking performers for the Japanese version of "The Show Must Go On". Stage experience is not required. Desirable are people of different nationalities, ages and looks.
Don't miss the unique opportunity to participate in this piece that is highly acclaimed by theaters and festivals worldwide and has revolutionized the dance world.
