OPENING NIGHT

LE TEMPS SCELLÉ

NACERA BELAZA

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

All is quiet, the sky is dark, the air is waiting. Two women appear – the dance begins.

The Belaza sisters weave a dance of weather. The breeze rises, small turbines turn and the wind whips.

Together these acclaimed French Algerian dancers create a trancelike tale of light and shade. Shaped by traditional and holy rituals,

Le Temps Scellé is a spellbinding performance for the Opening Night.

"A raw sensory landscape".
New York Times

• Venue: Arnolfini
• Date: Thu 12 Feb
• Time: 7pm

UNUSUAL WEATHER PERVADES THE GALLERY...

Fog cascades down a building, seeps through a summer field, and floats above a car park. Discover the incredible landscapes of Fujiko Nakaya and her lifelong collaboration with nature.

Framing the exhibition are provocations from climate scientists at the University of Bristol. Delve into the changing environment; take another look at what we often refuse to see.

The exhibition opens as part of IBT15 Opening Night. It runs from Fri 13 Feb – Sat 14 Mar. Please note that the gallery is closed on Mondays.
