Abstract

This article is a reflection on the dance piece Gala, by French choreographer Jérôme Bel, which was performed in São Paulo as part of the FranceDanse Brasil 2016 festival. With a cast of professionals and non-professionals, the work is a collective celebration of dance that questions what it means to dance well by showing how each performer, each body, understands and translates its own dance. The article also proposes a brief comparative analysis between Gala and Amadores, by Cia Hiato’s.
