FESTIVAL KYOTO-SAITAMA

Danse en images 2023

Program

Dec 7^th - 9^th, 2023

Venue French Institute of Beijing

Partner Danse en images 2023

In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Danse en Images, a festival established by the cultural section of the French Embassy in China and dedicated to conveying the many faces of dance through film and video.

This year's curator, Liu Chun, proposes a conversation between the body, time, history and culture, under the theme " Quand la danse me parle " ("When dance speaks to me"). The rich and varied program explores both the history of the discipline and the latest developments in contemporary dance, and features the " Collection portraits " series from the Centre national de la danse (CN D), which takes a retrospective look at the history of contemporary dance, highlighting the great choreographers of our time (Lucinda Childs, Maguy Marin, Cindy Van Acker, Fanny de Chaillé, etc.). Choreographic works by Chinese dancers such as WANG Mei, WANG Yabin and SHEN Yingying are also presented. In addition, a video program featuring French and Chinese choreographers (Noé Soulier, Leïla Ka, TANG Shiyi, HU Shenyuan, etc.) is shown in the "black box".
