Juliette Binoche - Tour de Force

I just saw Juliette Binoche's dance piece at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Man, I am so friggin lucky to live a 10 minute bike ride from this place - its like the Lincoln Center of Brooklyn!

She dances and choreographed this piece with Akram Khan, who my friend told me is one of the most famous choreographers in Europe.

Here's an article I found on this:

What was so inspiring to me was to see this powerful, amazing actress doing SOMETHING ELSE besides acting. No tunnel vision for this actress as to what her limits are!

The piece was a mix of dance, some scenes that were played out, and monologues - I love that they were able to make a combination of each performer's strengths, meanwhile challenging themselves.

See? There are no limits to what one can do ---
