The Nuit des Musées 2024 program at the Musée de l'Immigration - Palais de la Porte Dorée

• Carte blanche to Pierre Rigal
  Saturday, May 18, 7:30 p.m.
  

  For the 20th Nuit européenne des musées, relive a historic soccer match, be surprised by the Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration and experience the Palais to the rhythm of a frenzied dance!
  A major choreographer on the French and international scene, Pierre Rigal came to dance after a career in top-level athletics. From the outset, his relationship with the world of sport fueled part of his work, enabling him to draw parallels between sport and the performing arts. In fact, the notions of performance, physical and mental preparation, and surpassing oneself run through both worlds.
  For European Museum Night 2024, Pierre Rigal and 15 dancers from his company offer an original program featuring extracts from shows, impromptu dances and danced races.
