In 2025, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the Institut Français du Japon for the presentation of the Dance Cross program, which features A Park by Omori Yoko and Bouffées / You're the one we love by Leïla Ka, as part of the 2025 Yokohama Dance Collection program.

Omori Yoko, whose unique dance style blends ballet, contemporary, and street dance, whose penetrating gaze captures the loneliness lurking beneath pop culture’s frenzy, and whose dry humor objectifies the self, has gained a following in Japan and Europe. Omori describes this new work as “a piece that turns my entire life up to now into an amusement park.” Transforming the diverse emotions she has experienced—the joy of empathy, the pain of heartbreak, love, anger, and hatred—into play equipment through her body and a rich dance vocabulary. Following its world premiere at Italy’s Oriente Occidente Dance Festival in September 2025, this marks its Japanese premiere.
