Performances
In 2025, the Centre Pompidou is beginning a major transformation !
In anticipation of the renovation of its iconic building, the performance and conference halls were the first spaces to close. However, the live performance program continues throughout the renovation period, thanks to the 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… all come to life in the venues of major festivals such as the Biennale de la danse in Lyon or the Festival d’Automne in Paris.

The shared focus of the Centre Pompidou and the Biennale de la Danse on a multidisciplinary approach to dance has led to the creation of a special program centered on three major choreographers of the contemporary scene: Gisèle Vienne, Eszter Salamon, and Dorothée Munyaneza. Their work will be presented in key partner venues of the Biennale, such as Les Grandes Locos, Théâtre National Populaire, and Villa Gillet.
Supported over many years by the Centre Pompidou, these three choreographers will present new creations or re-creations conceived in situ, each exploring intersections between dance and other artistic disciplines: moving images for Eszter Salamon, music for Gisèle Vienne, and literature and poetry for Dorothée Munyaneza. Distinctive and committed, their aesthetics open up new perspectives on essential themes such as our relationship with nature, time, and others.
