Co-presented by Panthéon / Centre des monuments nationaux and Festival d’automne à Paris

This young artist has a peculiar approach to space and the body. Rio de Janeiro, his native city, epitomizing the conflict between nature and culture, shaped his art. His sculptures often deal with the tensions exerted by gravity on skin-thin materials. His monumental installation will contrast the animality of a tulle-and-polystyrene creature suspended under the dome of the Pantheon, with the weight of History and the cultural layers of this landmark.

Rêche

Dance

Fill your lungs. Feel the volumes of air inflating inside you in opposite directions. In Rêche, to be presented at the Pantheon, seven dancers enable us to see what is at stake in our bodies when we breathe. For choreographer Myriam Gourfink, this vital movement absorbs our fears and transforms the harshest behaviour into a gentler one.
