Be Here Now
Benjamin Millepied
In 2022, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Théâtre de la Ville de Paris in the presentation of Benjamin Millepied's new creation Be Here Now, in partnership with the Théâtre du Châtelet. The piece will also be presented in Los Angeles as part of the collaboration between the L.A. Dance Project and The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).
An hour of non-stop dancing in Benjamin Millepied's crisp, chiseled style, with live music and graphic art.
Benjamin Millepied is back, and with him the Los Angeles Dance Project he founded in 2012. With ten dancers from the Californian company, the former director of the Paris Opera Ballet creates a piece with sustained rhythm, articulated in duets, trios, quartets and group scenes, carried by the depth of a string quartet composed by Caroline Shaw and the percussive beat of Andy Akiho, two gems of the young New York musical vanguard.
