In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting la Ménagerie de verre for the presentation of J'aime bien les plis by Alina Arshi as part of Les Inaccoutumés Automne Festival 2025. 

Alina Arshi is a dancer and choreographer based in Lausanne. She draws inspiration from the paradoxical nature of the body: both concrete and abstract, it is a tool that enables her to explore new dimensions of communication and understanding. Entepfuhl, her capstone project at the Manufacture in Lausanne, has been presented at various venues in Switzerland, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, including la Ménagerie as part of Les Inaccoutumés Printemps 24. As a dancer, Alina Arshi has worked with Teresa Vittucci, Nicole Seiler, Marlene Saldana and Jonathan Drillet, Léa Katharina Meier, Juliette Uzor, Emma Bertuchoz, Mathilde Monnier, and Simon Van Schuylenbergh.
