“Trajal Harrell can turn a stage into a living, breathing painting”—New York Times
Offering one of the most emotional and critically acclaimed works of his career, dance artist Trajal Harrell returns to the Walker for a rare U.S. appearance. Draped in black, Harrell and seven dancers release their energy on stage in response to Keith Jarrett’s best-selling jazz piano recording, The Köln Concert. This personal and entrancing work set to Jarrett’s soul-baring, gospel-fused improvisations is introduced by four songs of intimate vulnerability from Joni Mitchell’s masterpiece Blue. Together, the music and dancing synthesize Harrell’s influences, ranging from voguing and post-modern dance to ancient Greek mythology and Japanese Butoh dance.
