Performances
In 2025, Centre Pompidou began a major transformation !
Its iconic building in the heart of Paris is temporarily closed to the public for major renovation work. However, the live performance program continues thanks to Centre Pompidou’s Constellation network of partner institutions, through which its spirit radiates across France and around the world, from 2025 until its reopening in 2030.
Dance, theatre, performance, music… take centre stage at IRCAM, at the venues of the Festival d’Automne à Paris’s partners, or at other multidisciplinary highlights organised by the Centre Pompidou.

La Mort du Môme
6 November – 12 December 2026
Tuesdays 7:30 pm / Wednesdays to Saturdays 8:30 pm
Estimated duration: 3h
Théâtre de La Colline, Paris 20th
From the dining hall of an Emmaüs shelter where, at the age of 17, he found his father dead, Sébastien Kheroufi retraces the thread of an intimate and social history. A contemporary tragedy, La Mort du Môme is written for the generation to which the author and director belongs: raised between two cultures, multiple social, political and intimate inheritances, and marked by things left unsaid. A generation eger to write its own story.
Feda Wardak, Saïdo Lehlouh, Deena Abdelwahed
Ce que le ciel ne sait pas

Estimated duration: 1h15
La Villette – Grande Halle, Paris 19th
Ce que le ciel ne sait pas takes the form of a monumental, immersive visual work that gives narrative shape in the resistance of Afghan peasants against imperialist dynamics and their extractive interventions in the sky, the soil and the subsoil. An installation conceived by architect and visual artist Feda Wardak, activated by the dancers of choreographer Saïdo Lehlouh, with a sound creation by Deena Abdelwahed.
