Merce Cunningham
Christos Papadopoulos
with the Lyon Opera Ballet
In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels presents Biped by Merce Cunningham and Mycelium by Christos Papadopoulos, in collaboration with New York City Center, as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in New York.
The prestigious Lyon Opera Ballet performs two different choreographies at New York City Center.
Biped by the great Merce Cunningham (1999)—widely considered the father of contemporary dance—is a pioneering dialogue between dance and technology to music by Gavin Bryars.
Inspired by the natural world, Christos Papadopoulos’ Mycelium immerses us in a sensory experience of hypnotic sounds and movements.
