Lady Gaga - Gaga To Participate In Art Performance

LADY GAGA is teaming up with the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet company and an Italian artist to stage a contemporary art performance.

The Poker Face singer will star in the piece, conceived by artist Francesco Vezzoli, along with members of the prestigious dance troupe at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art's 30th anniversary gala.

And Vezzoli is confident spectators will be stunned by the "surreal" showing.

He says of the upcoming performance, "They (MoCA organisers) basically offered me a social ritual as a blank canvas to be turned into an artwork. Some artists might see this as a nightmare, but for me it's like a surreal dream, and in true surreal style I wanted to mix together the youngest and most daring pop icon, Lady Gaga, with the oldest and most classically trained group of dancers in the world, the Bolshoi Ballet. The output will be flawlessly imperfect and unpredictable, just like any overambitious happening should be."

The performance is due to take place at the museum on 14 November (09).
