Faits d'hiver, the 2025 dance festival in Paris

Over the years, the Faits d'hiver Festival has established itself as a not-to-be-missed event for all lovers of contemporary dance. In 2025, it promises once again to surprise its audiences with a variety of performances by both emerging and established choreographers. Aurélie Berland, Bilaka & Adar and Carole Bordes, to name but a few, will be taking part, promising unforgettable evenings.

For its 27th edition, this contemporary dance festival explores a central theme for the first time. With a rich and varied range of creations, it highlights the interactions between past and present. Emblematic pieces, modern reinterpretations and choreographic tributes question physical and artistic memory. The moment of creation becomes a dynamic gateway that breathes new life into works and offers a fresh perspective on the repertoire.

The Faits d'hiver Festival is 9 creations and re-creations, 23 shows in 20 venues and 50 performances in all! One of the highlights of this year's festival will undoubtedly be the tribute to Carlotta Ikeda. Four shows and exhibitions will be dedicated to her between Paris and Bordeaux.
