For the fourth year running, Chaillot is hosting POUSH, opening its spaces wide to artists and to practices that shift boundaries. This ongoing partnership reflects a shared ambition: to create the conditions for encounters, to foster dialogue between disciplines, and to enable artists to experiment together in new ways.

Hosting POUSH during Art Basel Paris week also means bringing the National Dance Theatre fully into the spotlight at the heart of this major contemporary art event. It affirms that dance, the body and movement have a rightful place within this artistic effervescence, and establishes Chaillot as a meeting point between the performing arts and the visual arts. Chaillot’s inclusion of POUSH in the official programme of Paris+ by Art Basel brings this dialogue to life.

Throughout the evening, discover performances and installations by artists centred on a single obsession: to create, to repeat, to persevere, to start again.
