Bouchra Ouizguen choreographs a swarm of children, brimming with energy. 
Nahl—"bee" in Arabic—brings together children, aged between nine and twelve years old, in an experience of dance founded on listening and attentiveness, in which their mobile, reactive presence shifts the intensity of a shared present moment.

Marking the return of Festival d’Automne to the Chapelle Saint-Louis de la Salpêtrière, Lubaina Himid, in collaboration with Magda Stawarska, presents a new site-specific installation. Combining paintings, textile, printmaking, and sound, their project connects grand history narratives with individual lives experiences around the universal theme of waiting.
