In Gala (2015), the choreographer stages together professional people from the dance field and amateurs coming from different backgrounds. In Tombe (2016), performance created at the invitation of Opéra National de Paris, Jérôme Bel proposed to some dancers of the ballet to invite, for a duet, the person with who they would never share the stage. Posé arabesque, temps lié en arrière, marche, marche (2017) is a piece for all the dancers of the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon based on the famous "Entrance of the shadows" of the ballet La Bayadère. Dancing as if nobody is watching (2018) and the reading of the Lecture on nothing by John Cage call for a contemplative aesthetic attitude. With Retrospective, Jérôme Bel goes back through his video archives and makes a cross section within his corpus, to better bring out the linkage between dance and politics. Isadora Duncan (2019) paints a picture of this choreographer.

Since 2019, for ecological reasons, Jérôme Bel and his company no longer travel by plane for creations and tours. Thus, Dances for Wu-Kang Chen (2020), a portrait of this Taiwanese dancer, Xiao Ke (2020), a performance created with this Shanghai-based choreographer, and Laura Pante (2020), which presents the career of this dancer living in Italy, were all rehearsed by videoconference. These pieces are performed in the language of each dancer and tour in their respective countries. Jérôme Bel worked on his auto-bio-choreo-graphy Jérôme Bel (2021), with the idea that it would be performed abroad by an actor in the language of his or her country, using a protocol, script and videos. For Dances for an actress (Valérie Dréville) (2020) and Dans voor actrice (Jolente de Keersmaeker) (2021), Jérôme Bel asked these two actresses to interpret, not the roles of the theatrical repertoire as they are used to, but rather certain dances from the choreographic modernity. Non human dances (2023), conceived with the art historian Estelle Zhong Mengual, analyses the relationship between the history of Western dance and the non-human in order to enrich our understanding of it.
