Carte Blanche nora chipaumire / nhereraHUB

With this musical performance, nora chipaumire revisits and develops, alongside five women belonging to the Lébou community from the village of Toubab Dialaw, in Senegal, the score from her piece NOT waiting...devised in 2023 with the choreographer Germaine Acogny. 

During her second week in Paris, nora chipaumire invites audiences to a carte noire rendez-vous consisting of an evening of dub. She will be setting up a Zimbabwean shebeen, an unofficial bar tucked away in private homes, a place where people come together in order to invent forms of resistance and insurrection in response to the political powers that be.

Part concert part performance, in which voice, gesture and sound collide, #punk draws upon nora chipaumire’s founding years in Zimbabwe, as a means of embodying, in the present, punk energy and rebellion.

Bringing to a close this Carte Blanche and the 2026 edition, nora chipaumire takes over the Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Art and presents gadzi—a Paris chapter. This final piece of new work is a reflection of the extended length of time necessary for a work not only to be installed within a venue, but also to traverse and reconfigure it.

The Danish choreographer and dancer Mette Ingvartsen and the Australian drummer and percussionist Will Guthrie have been pursuing their respective creative projects for several years, whilst collaborating remotely. All Around, which premiered at the Festival d’Automne in 2020, is their first joint stage production. 

Filmed by means of a circular mechanism, RADIAL brings us a portrait of a community in motion. It is equally attentive to the collective whole as it is to the individualities of those that compose it. This in situ creation celebrates and brings together different artistic communities from the Paris region.

British vocalist, movement artist and composer of Afro-Caribbean origin, Elaine Mitchener manifests, through the intensity of her presence, voice and gestures, the traces, both past and present, of discrimination and colonial wounds, exposed in all their rawness.

Expect artistic sparks to fly, as two of the strongest figures of the contemporary choreography scene – France's Mathilde Monnier and Spain's La Ribot – team up for Gustavia, their portrait of an ever-elusive woman. This enthralling face à face, offers us a bitingly ironic view of our world, thanks to a refreshing dash of both insolence and humor.

Originally from Buenos Aires, the choreographer and performer Diana Szeinblum turns to Argentinian folklore dances and then deconstructs them. A piece which is both introspective and performative, ADENTRO! delves deep into the inner workings of bodily forms shaped by popular imagination and its gestures.

Sphere / Kurah is an installation in which body, voice and gesture permeate each other. By means of screens, projections and translucent surfaces, images detach themselves from the body and become traces, lights, and glimmers. Within this passage from presence towards fragility, the work attaches itself to forms of survival.
