“Nadj expresses himself through the body, but he is an intensely theatrical artist with a very distinctive artistic imagination”(Vincent Baudriller, Festival d’Avignon, The New York Times)
‘
An overwhelming success at last summer’s Festival d’Avignon, Paso Doble is a live performance by dancer, Josef Nadj, and Catalan painter, Miquel Barcel??. Using the impact of their bodies, the dancer and painter create a series of ephemeral paintings on a red clay canvas, filled with moments that are sometimes serious, sometimes burlesque. Underscored with a live soundscape by Alain Mah??, the two bodies gradually disappear, as if absorbed into the clay, leaving the canvas free for a different work each evening.

It is pleasure to note the efforts of the cultural services of french Embassy which is providing opportunities for cross cultural communication. This shall certainly help in bringing communities and cultures to come closer and strengthen ORDER & Ties for MORE STABELIZED WORLD and peoples coperation for world peace. I hope some day we shall see the complete exhitibition of works of SAYED HAIDER REZA who is my favourite painter and has capacity to dissiminate such inter cultural aspects of ART.
