Babel 7.16 (Words

Babel 7.16 by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & Damien Jalet calls on the shock of languages and bodies from different nationalities, on the
diversity and the difficulty to coexist, bringing uniqueness and community face to face. It questions our relationship to change,
when technology is constantly modifying our empathies and connections.


Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui - Flemish-Moroccan. Choreographer. Draughtsman. Vegan. Homosexual. A child of the suburbs. Artistic Director of the Royal Ballet of Flanders and his own company, Eastman. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui never fails to remind us that our identities are fluid and multiple, never monolithic nor static. Such reminders resound in Babel 7.16, whose 'original version', Babel (Words) - made with long-time associates Damien Jalet and Antony Gormley - was an urgent enquiry into language and territory.

From the impressive open air venue Cour d'honneur du Palais des Papes, Avignon, France. Recorded live at the Festival d'Avignon 2016

Live musicians: Patrizia Bovi, Mahabub Khan, Sattar Khan, Gabriele Miracle, Shogo Yoshii
