From October 18, 2024 to January 30, 2025, the EDF Foundation presents an unusual, dreamlike exhibition: Dans(e) la lumière brings art and dance together to create a magical, timeless experience.

The EDF Foundation unveils its new cultural season, to be experienced from October 18, 2024 to January 30, 2025. This time, the institution is offering a slightly different format to traditional exhibitions. We discover Dans(e) la lumière, an event combining plastic art and dance, in a poetic journey full of surprises.

In concrete terms, what can you see in this free exhibition? The EDF Foundation has assembled a number of important works from its own collections. Works inspired by light, by great artists. We discover little-known creations, sometimes never exhibited, by artists such as Man Ray, Raoul Dufy, Julio Le Parc, Gun Gordillo...

Complementing this journey between the works, visitors can admire a variety of dance performances. The dancers invent an original dialogue with the paintings on display, and let themselves be guided by the light to express their world, their art. Depending on the day and time, the dance performances change. You can admire solo dancers, troupes, improvised compositions or extracts from shows, classical or modern dances...

The unusual stage features artists such as Mourad Merzouki, Marion Motin, Carolyn Carlson accompanied by Pierre Le Bourgeois (cellist) and Thomas Lebrun, Alexandre Fandard, Ballet Junior, Alban Richard...

Worlds, eras and styles meet and mingle at the EDF Foundation, where artists are united by this creative light. This exhibition should be as surprising as it is original!

The Dans(e) la lumière event is scheduled to take place over several editions, each presenting new artists and new shows. Let yourself be carried away by this unusual program at the EDF Foundation!
