More Sweetly Play The Dance - William Kentridge - in entirety - Arles

Like nothing you've ever seen before ...unless you've seen the work of this South African artist: William Kentridge.
Presented by Fondation Luma at Arles' Parc des Ateliers during Les Rencontres d'Arles 2016. Charcoal drawing/video projection on 8 screens. A second line/dance macabre set to an original soundtrack.

[@banoyi5080]

I too saw this in Zeitz Mocaa in Cape Town. I was first drawn by the music, went into the room and was captured by the music and visual masterpiece. I could have sat there forever watching and listening. It touched my soul.

J'en peux plus de revoir cette vidéo en boucle pour la spé d'art plastique

[@mhale6313]

I just saw this in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I wish everyone could see it in person. I'm grateful to view this video but seeing it in person is so much more intense and moving.

[@dgbx6]

Same here. Sat through it stunned three times over.

[@DrRenewables]

I saw this in Cape Town just before we put the planet on lockdown. I was truly awestruck--especially by this piece. Sad. Spooky. Happy. Surreal. Worrying. Bold. Grandiose. Shocking. Pensive... all at once. You have to see it a few times to see what you missed the previous few times!

[@joseppallas596]

I saw this piece in Barcelona Contemporary Center of Culture (CCCB) in 2021 year. It was an extraordinary experience. Thanks for remember

[@viibridges]

I had watched the show once in Cincinnati, can't shake it out of my mind since then, the music was just very brain-washing and impressive.

[@sonjadolzan614]

I saw it couple of days ago in Luisiana, Humlebæk, Denmark. It was just perfect and I can't forget it.

[@elenamorinstal]

Just saw it today in Luxemburg and I was just completely struck, my eyes were just stuck on the films

[@sonjadolzan614]

@@elenamorinstal Wow, I am glad you liked it. Four years passed from the day I saw it and I still remember it like it was yesterday!

[@elenamorinstal]

@@sonjadolzan614 Yes, in the beginning, I tried too hard to understand the interpretation of the artist. But a the end, I let myself completly immerse into the videos and I interpreted it myself. That's also what the art is about, isn't it ? So that everyone can find his own voice through it.

[@sonjadolzan614]

@@elenamorinstal Ah, it is surprisingly how our reactions were so similar! I also tried to understand it at first, but then I just let myself enjoy it even though it seemed so senseless. Even now when I watch it, it is only pure delight!

[@carolcontreras6958]

I experienced this in a Mexican museum in Morelia and it was wonderful. The music, the visuals and the meaning is mesmerizing. Loved it!

[@larssvanholm]

I saw - and heard - this stunning installation at Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin in the summer 2016... It was a huge experience. I actually saw it twice in a row!

[@ohpleeaaase]

Saw it in Cape Town, at Zeitz MOCAA last year...I went back to it so many times. Fantastic work 🖤

[@TimSluga]

Experienced this yesterday at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Amazing piece. I'll definitely go back for another viewing.

[@europa99]

I saw it there, too. Blew me away. Poignant and powerful.

[@AnthonyT328]

I remember seeing this at the Cincinnati Art Museum, and it remains the most amazing piece of art I've ever witnessed (up there with Broadway's THE LION KING).

[@MsGerryo]

I saw this in Bruge, some years ago, completely by chance. It was absolutely incredible! As was the whole of his exhibition.

[@sagesaria]

I saw this just today in the Cincinnati Art Museum. Such a powerful piece. I started getting emotional all over again when I was in the next room and could hear the loop starting up again.

[@steverlfs]

I have seen this nine times and keep noticing things. The woman in the long dress pulling the clocklike thing and the woman at the end with the gun both vanish.

[@marianainbar6052]

saw it today at Mudam, in Luxembourg, and can't get over it. it is incredibly beautiful and moving.

[@deniztalks5798]

Saw it in Rennes, France a few weeks ago. Fantastic but must be experienced in person!

i saw this in the silo at the va in captown

[@Cookieanderson1]

It is haunting. Hard to understand and moving. I saw it in Milwaukee and went three times. It’s like the struggle of life.

[@dawncolla6852]

Saw this last weekend at the Milwaukee Art Museum preceded by a very informative lecture. The piece was amazing and haunting. Tangential: There was a long row of school chairs for viewers, but unfortunately twice as many people as chairs. I was irritated to see a dozen kids (6-12 years) sitting, leaving a large tour group of seniors to stand for 20-30 mins. behind the chairs of the seated kids. Not all the parents were clueless, there were several other kids who sat on the floor next to their parent/guardian and gave up their chairs to adults.
