DANCES WITHOUT BORDERS!
Open-mindedness, transdisciplinarity, discoveries: the Festival de Danse Cannes – Côte d’Azur France 2023 is a sensitive witness to the impulses and beauty of the world.
NOV. 27 TO DEC. 10
The entire program is an invitation to travel, a time of celebration and gathering, where the works of the 27 invited companies, as well as the encounters, exchanges and reflections proposed by choreographers, dancers, company directors, researchers and teachers, will be as many fruitful stopovers.
For almost 3 weeks, the festival will be showcasing the wealth of national and international choreographic creation, with a particular focus on openness and the cross-fertilization of performing arts disciplines. Youth will be in the spotlight, with 70 young people from national dance schools coming together in Cannes to work with the future professionals of tomorrow.
New creations, emblematic pieces from the repertoire, emerging companies and a new feature with the launch of MOV’IN Cannes, an international dance film competition open to all lovers of images and the body in movement.
Once again this year, the festival offers you the chance to practice your dance skills with dance workshops and master classes, as well as on-stage encounters, round tables and film screenings, all of which promise to be full of surprises and emotions.
It’s thanks to the collaboration and commitment of our invaluable partners on the Côte d’Azur that this program is brought to you. Our warmest thanks to each and every one of them! Thank you to Brigitte Lefèvre, who has worked tirelessly to develop this event, and whom I am delighted to succeed as artistic director. Thank you to all the Palais des Festivals teams, to the Ministry of Culture and to the local authorities who support the festival, and especially to the town of Cannes, as well as to the foundations and patrons.
Didier Deschamps,
Artistic Director
