Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse

Since 2008 Chaillot has been the first national theater to launch a project designed mainly around and inspired by dance. This has positioned Chaillot as a key establishment for the choreographic arts, both at the national and international levels.

Directed by choreographer Rachid Ouramdane since April 6, 2021, Chaillot - Théâtre national de la Danse is one of France's six national theaters. Its main missions are to create and present dance shows in Paris and on tour in France and abroad, to program French and international artists, to host artists in residence, and to develop all categories of audiences, including schoolchildren and people far removed from cultural practices, through, among other things, a range of artistic and cultural activities such as Chaillot Colo.

The main principles of the Chaillot spirit and experience are: to make Chaillot a space for creating connections and a theater of diversity in forms, in audiences, and in aesthetics by situating dance at the heart of society; to think of hospitality from inside and outside by inhabiting the Art Deco building in a different way; to become a living house all year round with a constellation of resident artists; to offer spaces for encounters, experimentation, and reflection.

A place of diversity and hospitality, Chaillot invites us to experiment and build novel ways of working together.
