The Nuit Blanche 2024 program on the Parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville:

Kenny Dunkan, WÉLÉLÉ !!!
Cultural Olympiad
Performance, from the Hôtel de Ville forecourt (Paris Centre) to the Place de la République (10th arrondissement)
Kenny Dunkan's performance, whose title borrows from a Creole idiom evoking festive, collective joy, reflects both the emancipatory spirit of the mas and the libertarian dynamics of skateboarding. Carnival and skateboarding, whose fundamentally political dimension of spatial occupation is often obscured, or recuperated, is recovered to make visible the now openly multicultural dimension of an urban sport and its protagonists. Dozens of skateboarders will be transformed into human beatboxes, each emitting the nocturnal song of a different creature, from the twilight serenade of birds to the haunting stridency of frogs, to form a vast mobile soundsystem.
