Christos Papadopoulos & le Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon – Mycelium

Opéra de Lyon

The shifting entity of 20 Opéra de Lyon dancers instils its relational and proliferative modes in the mycelium, the underground part of a fungus that extends its filaments so that information can circulate.

  • Spectacle

Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui & le Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève – Ukiyo-e

Maison de la Danse

  • Spectacle

Katerina Andreou – Rave to Lament

Les SUBS

Filled with nostalgia for an era she never knew, Katerina Andreou pays tribute here to the golden age of rave culture in the ‘90s. An impulsive and percussive burst of movement, in which the artist performs a duet with a tuned car in a secret location.

  • Spectacle

Collectif Petit Travers & le Quatuor Debussy – Nos matins intérieurs

Metropolitan area, Region

Gliding between the notes of Purcell and Marc Mellits, 10 jugglers and four musicians craft a little utopia, where the collective is founded on its members’ differences and singularities.

  • Spectacle

Alessandro Sciarroni – Save the last dance for me

How do you rescue a dance from extinction? Set to a techno beat, Save the last dance for me breathes fresh life into the polka chinata, which originated in Italy in the early 20th century and had nearly sunk into oblivion.

  • Spectacle
