The 2021 Festival de Danse Cannes-Côte d'Azur is in full swing! Kicking-off on the 27th of November and lasting until 12 December, theatres across the Côte d'Azur will host some of the world's top and most avant-garde dance performances, exhibitions and films on the topic of Dance. Ballet companies and dance troups from across France and also stunning international performers take to the stage to strut their talent.
Here we see images from Système Castafiore, otherwise known as Marcia Barcellos and Karl Biscuit, a duo who create a unique choreography of extraordinary creatures in futuristic world. They are playing at the Theatre de Grasse 2 & 3 December.
Martha Graham forever shaped the world of dance in the early 20th century. Today, the Martha Graham Company vividly illuminates the roots and branches of the technique invented by the high priestess of modern dance. 'Prelude' was performed at the Palais des Festival on 27 November.
Rocío Molina is considered the Madonna of modern Flamenco. Her power and skill is mesmerizing, as is her contemporary take on the traditional dance, which she brings her own Lady Gaga-esque twist to. Fabulous performance on 30 November at Anthea theatre in Antibes.
