Save the Last Dance for Me

0 upcoming performances in New York

At L’Alliance New York, *Save the Last Dance for Me* appears not as a pop standard but as a small, cross-disciplinary dance-and-image work within the Ken and Flo Jacobs celebration program. Performers and makers including Sidi Kaba, Nicolas Becker, Momoko Seto, Sylwia Szkiłądź, and Raoul Servais bring movement, sound, and film-language into the same frame, where authorship is shared and the “last dance” becomes a question of memory and attention. Its New York context matters: L’Alliance’s longstanding role in presenting French and francophone experimental work makes this feel less like a standalone event than a node in the city’s art-cinema ecosystem. The piece’s plain title, borrowed from a song with a long afterlife in American recordings, quietly underlines how cultural material circulates and changes shape.
