For Olympic Day on June 23, 2023, the Mouffetard is teaming up with La Canopée media library to highlight the values of sport and Olympism, with a free open-air show!

Every year, June 23 celebrates Olympic Day with a host of events to discover Olympic sports alongside athletes and learn about the values of sport and Olympism. With even greater momentum in France in the run-up to the Paris 2024 Games, the capital will be teeming with events for you to enjoy free of charge, including a show and meeting organized by Le Mouffetard, the puppet arts theater!

For the occasion, the cultural center is teaming up with the La Canopée media library, located in the 1st arrondissement, to put on a dance show based on hip-hop and breakdance, the Games' new discipline! You can also take advantage of the day to meet a major Paralympic athlete and learn more about his or her struggle and career path. Don't forget to register for your free place!

The program

  • Hand Hop by Scopitone & Compagnie
Based around a frantic chase between authority and casualness, Hand Hop aims to give back to the street its contagious energy, alive with togetherness, bodies and music. An allusion to early Hip Hop clips, combined with a nod to Tex Avery, to celebrate street dance, which is now a fixture of the contemporary choreographic landscape and a victory over public space.

3 identical performances at 4pm, 5pm and 6pm, in front of La Place bar (opposite the mediatheque) - registration required.
  • Courir : regards croisés - The meeting of an author, an athlete and an artist
Three voices talk about competitive running and the individual and collective struggles that play out in the strides of great athletes. A round table hosted by Aladji Ba (Paralympic athlete), Guillaume Lecamus (actor-puppeteer-director) and François-Guillaume Lorrain (author) for a discussion about running and its challenges with Nathalie Lacroix, in charge of the Cultural Olympiad at the PUC.

7pm - registration required
