Biennale de la danse de Lyon x Festival d'Automne à Paris

Are you traveling through Paris to attend the Biennale de la danse de Lyon and Focus Danse? Make the most of your trip to Paris and combine it with shows and concerts at the Festival d'Automne à Paris.
In a spirit of loyalty to artists and openness to the world, the Festival d'Automne questions the aesthetics of today and tomorrow. In September 2025, the Festival will be presenting more than 15 projects by regular artists or those invited to France for the first time, reflecting the wide diversity of current forms in the performing arts, including Trajal Harrell, Nacera Belaza, William Kentridge, Lia Rodrigues, MEXA, Emilie Rousset, Stephen O'Malley, Laurène Marx and Bouchra Khalili.
The Biennale de la danse de Lyon is joining forces with the Festival d'Automne à Paris to make it easier for you to book your visit to Paris and the Ile-de-France region.
