Fifth Avenue Blooms imagined by Van Cleef and Arpels
Performance
May 4th, 2024
To welcome spring, Fifth Avenue Blooms imagined by Van Cleef & Arpels brings New York's iconic Fifth Avenue into bloom. As part of the many cultural activities organised throughout May, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents 900SATELLITES by Némo Flouret and In Plain Site by Trisha Brown.
For the third year in a row, the Fifth Avenue Association is working with Van Cleef & Arpels to create a blooming landscape. In May, the streets of the avenue will be transformed into a floral sketchbook created by French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet. These installations are complemented by creative interventions and artistic performances.
To mark the occasion, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is presenting two outdoor choreographic works to the New York audience.
On May 4th and 5th 2024, Némo Flouret's latest creation 900SATELLITES will take over 550 Madison Avenue Garden, a verdant area in the middle of the city. This performance is part of an ongoing project to explore and develop choreographic interventions in public spaces and venues not dedicated to dance. 900SATELLITES brings together a multitude of dances from Némo Flouret's first piece, all gravitating around the space context as main element. The choreographer has reunited with long-time collaborators Tessa Hall, Solène Wachter and Philomène Jander, with whom he has been developing site-specific performances since 2018.

For the past three years, Fifth Avenue Blooms imagined by Van Cleef & Arpels has been celebrating spring in a unique and artistic way. In 2023, French illustrator Charlotte Gastaut was the guest of honour. Her pop-up installation on Fifth Avenue was inspired by all the colours of nature.
Last edition, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presented American choreographer Pam Tanowitz's Heart of Hearts, performed in the streets of New York.

à propos des artistes
Némo Flouret
In 2024, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting, in partnership with Genius Loci, Némo Flouret for his creation DANCE PARC: a playground project, an in-situ performance at the Maison Bernard.
Trisha Brown
Trisha Brown (1936-2017) is considered one of the most inventive and influential dancers and choreographers of the second half of the 20th century. She founded her dance company in 1970. In doing so, she embarked on a 40-year odyssey along the many paths of contemporary dance, marked by improvisation and experimentation, pushing back the limits of the body and appropriating unexpected urban and natural spaces (rooftops, walls, galleries, etc.). A creator of more than 100 choreographies and six operas, she was also a visual artist, collaborating over the years with innovative artists including Robert Rauschenberg and Laurie Anderson.
