Every season, Agora de la danse enriches its programming with cultural mediation activities that create essential connections between artists and audiences. These initiatives transform the audience’s experience, inviting them to delve into the fascinating world of choreographic art.
At lunchtime, take a behind-the-scenes look at a rehearsal and discover an artist and his or her work in the midst of creation, just a few days before the show’s premiere. This exclusive glimpse of the show in the making is followed by an open discussion with the artistic team.

What are the artists in residency doing? What do they reflect on in their everyday lives? Comment ces réflexions nourrissent-elles leur création ?
By exploring the Agora’s artistic residencies, Hors-Scène goes beyond the strict confines of choreography and performance to broaden the view of dance and create encounters between curious audiences and artists.
