The new identity of the Dance Biennale of Lyon (2027) revolves around the theme “Augmented Bodies, Connected Lives.” A contemporary theme that speaks as much to the body as to its environment, to technology as to living beings.

Our research on previous editions reveals a clear observation: the parade is hugely popular, but the indoor performances remain less well-known, attract an older audience, and seem less accessible to young people. Our challenge is double: to attract a younger audience to the indoor performances, while retaining the loyalty of the existing audience, which is attached to the venues and the history of the Biennale.
