Adam Linder has worked as a dancer with the Royal Ballet in London, as well as with leading choreographers such as Meg Stuart and Michael Clark. In his own pieces, he explores the relationship between art and commerce and the role of the artist between personal fulfilment and radical self-marketing. In Parade, Adam Linder thus attempts a reinterpretation of the eponymous key work, premiered in 1917 by the Ballets Russes. At the time, Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Erik Satie and Léonide Massine provoked the aesthetic onset of modernity in theatre in a congenial collaboration and addressed the subject of commercial exploitation of art by staging short promo acts by artists. Together with visual artist Shahryar Nashat, Linder sets out in the footsteps of the historical role model by presenting his piece as a contemporary “corporate ballet”.
