William Kentridge: More Sweetly Play the Dance

Mudam Luxembourg presents the exhibition William Kentridge. More Sweetly Play the Dance.

Kentridge’s expansive oeuvre is resolutely narrative in its treatment of themes intimately connected to history and the phenomena of memory and forgetfulness. Kentridge addresses these subjects through the lens of his native South Africa and his own persona as an artist engaged in the process of making images. The artist’s films, performances, works for the stage and his drawings and collages, avoid what he describes as “the ideology of grand narratives”, favouring an aesthetic of fragmentation, non-completion and uncertainty.

William Kentridge. More Sweetly Play the Dance is part of the second edition of Luxembourg’s red bridge project, an interdisciplinary collaboration between Mudam Luxembourg, Philharmonie Luxembourg and Grand Théâtre de la Ville de Luxembourg. A programme of performances and special events will accompany the exhibition.
