DESCRIPTION:Jul 17 - Aug 1\, 2026\nInternational arts festivals are usually
  left to the bureaucrats to organize. The dance division of the Venice Bie
 nnale\, by contrast\, takes an auteur approach\, with extreme-ballet chore
 ographer Wayne McGregor at its helm. So the pleasure is twofold: to watch 
 the dances as usual—and as many in the brief\, fulsome season as your at
 tention allows—and to imagine how a thoughtful choreographer (if not McG
 regor in particular) might see them and absorb them into his or her work. 
 McGregor has titled his sixth Biennale Time Does Not Exist. With its mix o
 f generations\, he might have appended it “… but history does.” Chor
 eographer Molissa Fenley dances her old Bardo\, an homage to her friend Ke
 ith Haring\, on a double bill with her acclaimed solo take on The Rite of 
 Spring\, revived for an unleashed Cassandra Trenary. Relatively young Sám
 i director Elle Sofe Sara\, with an assist from the Icelandic choreographe
 r Hlín Diego Hjálmarsdóttir\, reflects on one colonial conquest\; Eiko 
 Otake (of Eiko & Koma renown) and Wen Hui contend with the aftereffects of
  another. As for Mamela Nyamza’s Herd/Less\, the European premiere conde
 nses decades of Black South African subjection and resistance into a singl
 e mass\, a single dance.
