The Jin Xing Dance Theatre was formed in the heart of communist China in 1999 by Jin Xing. This pioneering dancer has successfully broken down barriers between East and West and the Jin Xing Dance Theatre has established its reputation as the cream of contemporary Chinese dance and as an international cultural ambassador. Choreographer and principal dancer Jin Xing is a celebrity in China, working on a regular basis with the Shanghai Opera as well as on her own works with the company she founded. The company will present four ballets: Space 9 by Jin Xing, Gat’s by choreographer Emmanuel Gat, who likes to choreograph and to compose some of his own music (he is the principal composer for his work in this programme), and two pieces by Arthur Kuggeleyn, a Dutch actor and choreographer, who has been based in Berlin for many years. Discover three visions and dialogues at the heart of contemporary dance.

Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

The Théâtre des Champs- Elysées is undoubtedly one of the finest venues in Paris . Built in 1913 , it has the distinction of having been designed by a group of artists architects Henry Van de Velde and Auguste Perret , the painter and sculptor Antoine Bourdelle , the painter Maurice Denis , and the crystal- René Lalique to do mention the main ones . He was the first Parisian theater to be built entirely of reinforced concrete.

 

Restoration of the Great Hall devoted to operatic performances , symphony concerts and dance was decided in 1985. Two years later , on 23 September 1987, the theater reopened its doors , completely renovated. Fifteen years after this important work it was decided to undertake a new renovation campaign , but to prevent the complete closure of the theater for an entire season , work is now carried by step during the summer . Then it is to replace aging equipment , to remedy wear certain parts of the theater and improve spectator comfort and artists during their visit . Thus in recent years, including the work involved the renovation of marble facade, replacing the carpet in the room with wooden floors , installation of a new fully decorated wooden concert to a significant improvement of acoustics, the orchestra pit and stage below .

 

The Théâtre des Champs- Elysées is now a modern working tool receiving each year nearly 300,000 spectators and a few thousands of artists and collaborators.
