In 2023, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Ménagerie de verre for the presentation of Produit de circonstances by Xavier Le Roy, as part of the 2023 Les Inaccoutumés Festival.

Produit de circonstances is a performed autobiography, wherein the dancer’s body becomes a reflection on social, political and cultural organization, whose hierarchies he aims to destruct. Susceptible to the influence of control systems present in dance studios, public spaces and scientific laboratories alike, this autobiographical performance acts as a strongly critical piece in an attempt to break free from dramatic conventions in order to redefine the very conditions that make it possible.
