Performances

Our performance cycle offers vibrant opportunities for exchange and discovery. Often echoing the exhibitions currently on view in the Palace, these moments give voice to artists who invite us to delve into the world’s complexities.

With five new creations, the performance season combines stage arts and visual arts in striking ways. The emphasis is on participation, and we offer space to both established names and emerging talent.

It offers a unique opportunity to discover the Kanze Noh Theater, the performative work of William Kentridge and The Centre for the Less Good Idea, as well as the universe of Mónica Valenciano and the work of a younger generation of artists such as Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust and the collective Ça marche.
