A SEASON ON THE MOVE!<\/strong><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The 2025\u20132026 season promises to be rich, intense, and joyfully committed for the Christian & Fran\u00e7ois Ben A\u00efm company!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On the program: 6 works on tour, a brand-new creation for young audiences A Desert in my Kitchen?<\/em>, site-specific formats, festivals in France and abroad, creative residencies, and of course, numerous artistic initiatives across different regions to share and create connections.<\/p>\n

Through performances, workshops, encounters, and masterclasses, the company continues to pursue what drives it deeply: letting gestures and emotions flow through dance, as close to audiences as possible.<\/p>\n

At the start of this season, the company is also drawing closer to two new venues: the Royaumont Foundation and Le Figuier Blanc in Argenteuil, exciting partnerships that open new perspectives for encounters and resonances.<\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you on the road, in theaters, schools, museums, and in all the adventures to come.
\nHappy back-to-season to everyone!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2025\/26, six works from the repertoire will be touring across France and abroad. From major stages to local venues, from traditional theaters to site-specific adventures, each tour is a chance to share a poetic vision of dance, spark dialogue, and bring the artistic gesture into close resonance with communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
