OLIVIER DUBOIS, Drummers (Boléro Electro) - at 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM (50 min)
From the outset, a breath, a barely audible beat. With Drummers, Olivier Dubois led 50 amateur dancers from Essonne beyond themselves through a collective dance inspired by Ravel’s Boléro. Here, the individual dissolves in the collective whole, and the whole is held up by each individual. Every body becomes percussion; every gesture builds the energy. Notably, Yuksek appears live, performing his electro version of the Boléro. Dive into a show where the beat grows, hypnotic, obsessive, until it erupts!
Olivier Dubois (born 1972 in Roubaix; based in Paris) is a renowned French choreographer and dancer known for powerful, immersive work that blends rigour with collective energy. He explores rhythm, the body, and stage presence, integrating professional and amateur dancers into his creations.

MICKAËL PHELIPPEAU, Yellow Party (participatory ball) - from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM
Yellow Party is a grand, festive, participatory gathering that blends a collective dance with a DJ set. First, choreographer Mickaël Phelippeau invites several artists with distinctive universes — Marie-Laure Caradec, Ben Cissé, Anastasia Moussier, and Alban Richard. Each presents a dance set to music whose title includes “Yellow,” “Jaune,” “Yellow,” or “Gelb,” and passes their choreography to the audience.
The celebration continues with a DJ set by Verginie Descente, whose free, incandescent universe blends house, pop, and techno to move bodies and transform the floor into a shared party space. Yellow will be in the spotlight: come with an accessory, a dé-tail, or a full yellow look — all fantasies are welcome to light up the night.
Mickaël Phelippeau is a French choreographer and dancer. After training in visual arts and dance, he develops a choreographic approach rooted in encounter and otherness. He works with performers, collectives, and in varied contexts to sketch choreographic portraits.

OLIVIER DUBOIS, Drummers (Boléro Electro), a choreographic piece - 50-minute runtime
In the beginning, a breath, a barely audible beat. With Drummers, Olivier Dubois guided 50 amateur dancers from Essonne on a journey of self-surpassing through a collective dance inspired by Ravel’s Boléro.

Notably, Yuksek will perform his live electro interpretation of the Boléro. Dive into a show where the beat swells—hypnotic, obsessive—until it explodes!
