Festival dates and theme

The 11th edition of Immersion Danse, organized by L'Onde Théâtre Centre d'art de Vélizy-Villacoublay, will run from November 3 to November 21, 2026. The festival aims to explore new directions in dance while revisiting influential works that have shaped contemporary choreography.

Diverse artistic approach

The event will embrace a wide range of aesthetics, encouraging dialogue between different styles and celebrating the variety of dance forms. It will include both intimate performances and large-scale productions, offering a space where each participant can find their own creative path.

Focus on enduring and evolving works

This edition will highlight choreographic pieces that have stood the test of time, showing how they continue to inspire and be reinterpreted by younger artists. Performers, whether solo or in groups of varying sizes, will create emotionally resonant spaces through movement.

Featured performances and events

Other highlights include Dialogues dans le rêve by Josef Nadj & Ivan Fatjo on November 3, and What The Body Does Not Remember by Wim Vandekeybus later the same evening.
