In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents BIPED by Merce Cunningham and Mycelium by Christos Papadopoulos with the Lyon Opera Ballet, in collaboration with New York City Center, as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in New York.
Led by Cédric Andrieux, the Lyon Opera Ballet, a true pioneer in its field, continues its exploration of the most challenging contemporary choreographic works. Committed to fostering dialogue between diverse repertoires and embracing its role as a laboratory for experimental and innovative forms, it stands as a home for the great artists of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. While deeply rooted in its region, the company also strives for international renown, passionately sharing the history of dance and actively contributing to its future, always in tune with the pressing questions of our time.
