gaudanse to Perform at FUSA Dance Festival in Paris This September
The company will present mamihlapinatapai on September 19 at the Fondation des États-Unis.
gaudanse will join the FUSA Dance Festival in Paris this September for a week of workshops and performances at the Fondation des États-Unis. The company will perform on Friday, September 19, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are free.
For their festival appearance, gaudanse will present mamihlapinatapai, choreographed by Artistic Director Imani Gaudin. The work embodies the word’s profound meaning—“a look that without words is shared by two people who want to initiate something, but that neither will start”—through movement, gesture, and eye contact.
