Urban Dance Showcase

Accompanied by acrobats from the Compagnie de Chaillot and on a choreography by Rachid Ouramdane from the piece Les Traceurs, highliner Nathan Paulin embarks on a tightrope walk.

Meanwhile, the composer and musician Christophe Chassol leads a musical journey through his most celebrated works, followed by a concert by Saudi musicians.

Saïdo Lehlouh of the CCN de Rennes / collectif F-A-I-R-E is from a hip-hop background and represents a new generation of choreographers. Alongside
the Saudi breakdancer Akram, he opens a space for bodily improvisation combining hip-hop and music. French and Saudi talents unite for a moment
of poetry, both musical and visual, that will illuminate Villa Hegra.

Between performances, audiences can take part in hands-on workshops and attend a screening of the film Möbius Morphosis, produced at the Panthéon in Paris as part of the Cultural Olympiad of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Conceived by Rachid Ouramdane and Collectif XY, this breathtaking spectacle captures the soaring flight of birds and unites 100 artists on stage, including the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon and La Maîtrise de Radio France, with music by Jean-Benoît Dunckel, cofounder of the band Air.
