Jörg Widmann has pursued a brilliant career as both a composer and performer. Three concerts this year provide an opportunity to gauge his talent as a musician and get a better grasp of his work. This program, which is part of the Louvre’s ‘‘Boundaries’’ series, probes the distance between tradition and avant-garde, introducing Pintscher’s third Etude for Treatise The Veil, a cycle dedicated to American artist Cy Twombly.

François Chaignaud
Petites joueuses

Dance

The Festival d'Automne continues, for the third year in a row, its partnership with the Louvre Museum. Together, they have been building up a collection of new contemporary performances dedicated to the museum and its works. On the occasion of the 'Figures du fou. Du Moyen âge aux romantiques' exhibition, which explores the subversive value of the foolish or the nonsensical in medieval society, the dancer and choreographer François Chaignaud brings us Petites joueuses. In this piece, an immersive and uninterrupted journey through the medieval Louvre, mutant and resonant creatures take over its fortifications, giving rise to a somewhat disturbing carnival.
