In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Christos Papadopoulos for the creation of My Fierce Ignorant Step and its presentation at the Romaeuropa Festival and at the Théâtre de la Ville.

It's a performance about the euphoria of being alive. Ten dancers create an ecstatic soundscape and the choreography emerging from it. Memories and listens, voices and bodies, all resonate like musical instruments, gradually building toward a shared exhilaration. The minimalist Greek choreographer’s new work explores how movement becomes a song, one in which the dancers’ bodies pulsate—and through them, potentially, the bodies of the audience. An optimistic, extroverted, and enchanting new work about the first times we met, laughed, lived. About the passionate beginnings.
