Such a Devoted Bunch
Ruth Childs
Cécile Bouffard
In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Ruth Childs and Cécile Bouffard for their co-creation, Such a Devoted Bunch.
Such a Devoted Bunch, a performance for three dancers and several sculptures by Cécile Bouffard, invites a closer look at collective excitement. The forms and gestures at play raise open-ended questions: to what end do we come together? In what spaces and moments—ordinary and extraordinary—do we belong to one another? What brings us together, and what do we celebrate? How do we belong to one another? Or to a place, a given moment, a routine or an activity?
Such a Devoted Bunch assembles a fantastical community—a "bunch" of bodies that seem animated by the same fervor, the same devotion.
