Faire danser le patrimoine autrement
“Faire danser le patrimoine autrement”
Fonds chorégraphique Fernand Nault organizes and coordinates “Faire danser le patrimoine autrement”, a program aiming to bring artistic heritage in dance to life.
Initiated in December 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of birth of the late choreographer emeritus Fenrand Nault, “Faire danser le patrimoine” continues its momentum to experience “autrement” the heritage in dance that has been bequeathed to us.
