Dance Immersion: Fauve Hautot and nine shows at L’Onde

The festival Immersion Danse brings together nine performances at L’Onde, in Vélizy-Villacoublay, from November 3 to 21, 2026. For its eleventh edition, five evenings pair new works with revivals of dance pieces, featuring, notably, Fauve Hautot and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.

On November 3, Dialogues dans le rêve brings together Josef Nadj and Yvan Fatjo in a piano-duet powered by John Cage's prepared piano music. The evening then features What the Body Does Not Remember, Wim Vandekeybus's debut choreography, first created in 1987 and revived by his company Ultima Vez.

On November 7, Cassiel Gaube’s solo Moteur examines how house dance relates to other dance techniques. It is followed by Rosas danst Rosas, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s 1983 work, performed by four dancers to music by Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch.

On November 12, the program pairs L’Heure Suzanne, a new work by Groupe Suzanne exploring a shared threat, with Let’s Go !. In the latter piece, Fauve Hautot and Romain Guillermic bring together nine dancers from their company, Same But Different.

On November 17, Phobos, performed by Labotilar and Eleina D., tackles the perception of time. Olivier Dubois’s Come Out follows: this reimagining leans on Steve Reich’s repetitive, minimalist composition.

The closing night, on November 21, features Un coin de paradis. Josette Baïz and the young performers of Groupe Grenade revisit Paradis, originally choreographed by José Montalvo and Dominique Hervieu in 1997. The project blends several styles, including contemporary dance, classical ballet, and breakdance.

The first four evenings feature a 7:30 PM show, followed by another at 8:30 PM. The final performance starts at 7:30 PM. This setup lets audiences discover several choreographic worlds in the same venue in the Yvelines.
