Partner of

Festival d'Automne à Paris

In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is renewing its support for the Festival d’Automne to present 12 artistic works. A major sponsor since 2020, Dance Reflections is also committed to supporting the Festival in its solidarity initiatives in Paris and the Île-de-France region.

Since 1972, the Festival d’Automne has supported artists by producing and presenting their work in the spirit of loyalty, openness and discovery. Multidisciplinary and international, the Festival is a major force in the arts in France and around the world. It features nearly 80 events each year at some 60 partner venues in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region, attracting more than 180,000 people from September through December.

For its 2026 edition, the Festival d'Automne promises unique artistic journeys, numerous world premieres and eclectic programs featuring French and international artists.

Three Portraits mark this edition: one dedicated to Moroccan choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen, bringing together five of her works for the first time; another celebrating Canadian composer Cassandra Miller, whose music connects voice, memory and space; and a third dedicated to Australian theater company Back to Back Theatre and its repertoire, highlighting the troupe's commitment to the inclusion of neurodivergent individuals.

Choreographic creation will once again take center stage in this edition, with invitations extended to choreographers including nora chipaumire, to whom the Festival is dedicating a two-week Carte Blanche at the Ménagerie de verre, with a closing event at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. Also featured are Myriam Gourfink; Katerina Andreou and Melissa Guex; Boris Charmatz; Ruth Childs and Cécile Bouffard; Dalila Belaza; Alessandro Sciarroni and Lucinda Childs with the Lyon Opera Ballet; Hiroshi Sugimoto; Latifa Laâbissi; Betty Tchomanga; and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. These invitations are made possible thanks to the support of Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels.

In this edition, the Festival d'Automne continues its commitment to the public, particularly young people and students, who benefit from affordable rates. Tailored programs, encounters and workshops are also organized for healthcare workers, staff and patients at the AP-HP, as well as for organizations working in the social sector.
