Festival de Danse Cannes - Côte d'Azur France

Around the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, 9 cultural structures from the Alpes-Maritimes and the Var are united: Anthéa (Antibes), Cineum (Cannes), Forum Jacques Prévert (Carros), Scène 55 (Mougins), Théâtre de Grasse, Théâtres en Dracénie (Draguignan), Théâtre La Licorne (Cannes), Théâtre Le Forum - Estérel Côte d'Azur (Fréjus) and Théâtre National de Nice.

24 companies are on the programme, including 5 world premieres, 5 French premieres and 2 in the Southern Region, celebrating dance in all its generous diversity.

Two forms of work are particularly in the spotlight: major choreographic works combining live music, and those drawing on the heart of traditional dance.

The opening night offers a dazzling illustration of this with Afanador by Marcos Mauro for the Spanish National Ballet, inspired by the world of flamenco. This will be followed by a range of delightful performances by big names in dance, renowned companies, young ballets and exciting new discoveries, presenting a lively panorama of new works and the repertoire.

Thanks to MOV'IN Cannes, dance and cinema meet, magnify and question each other. This dance film competition, launched during the 2023 edition of the festival, has revealed the public's enthusiasm for the creativity and audacity of these two major arts, brought to life by artists from all over the world.
