In response to the recent performance choreographed by Jérôme Bel and performed by Cédric Andrieux, Tessa Hulls and I decided to have a conversation about the piece via email and ping pong. Photos, video and email exchange included below.

Cédric Andrieux got on stage, and the entire time, danced without music. NO MUSIC, whatsoever, until the very end of his performance to a piece, entitled The Show Must Go On, and even then, he just stands there, smiles and stares at the audience….This kind of blew my mind!
