Performa 15

The wide-ranging performance art festival returns in its 2015 incarnation, which includes Francesco Vezzoli and dancer David Hallberg's Fortuna Desperata, a piece that revives the pageantry of ballet's sumptuous beginnings (Nov 1), and Jérôme Bel's multivenue Ballet (New York), which asks how place changes our perception of a dance (Nov 6–19).
