Boris Charmatz Tickets

Born in 1973 in Chambéry, France, Boris Charmatz is a defining figure in contemporary dance. A dancer, choreographer, and creator of experimental projects such as Museums of Dance (Musée de la danse) and terrain, Charmatz has shaped new languages for performance and relocation of bodies in space. Since 2022, he has led Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, guiding a company with a storied legacy into new artistic territories. His work spans intimate solos, large-scale spectacles, and interdisciplinary collaborations that challenge how we experience movement and time.

Charmatz’s career highlights include landmark works like À bras-le-corps (1993), 10000 gestes (2017), Happening Tempête for the Grand Palais Éphémère opening (2021), La Ronde (2021), and Liberté Cathédrale, which premiered in 2023. The latter received critical acclaim, earning Production of the Year in 2024 from Tanz magazine and reinforcing Charmatz’s role as a bold and influential creator. He remains closely tied to major festivals and venues, including the Avignon Festival, where he engages as an artist of note, and a variety of institutions that support experimental performance.

For contemporary dance fans, Charmatz’s practice offers a unique mix of improvisation, choreography, and scenography, inviting audiences to rethink presence, duration, and the relationship between performer and space. His ongoing work is documented and discussed across leading media outlets such as Le Monde and The Guardian, underscoring his international impact.

Upcoming tours and projects reflect Charmatz’s continued exploration of movement, time, and form. In 2025, look for Solo Improvisation at Centre Pompidou-Metz (February 6–7, 2025), Cercles at Grand Palais in Paris (July 2025), 10000 gestes in Carouge (September 14, 2025), and a series of performances including À bras-le-corps, Étrangler le temps, and the Nelken restaging in Vienna (July 17–20, 2025). He will also present Sylphides at the Grand Palais (December 7–18, 2025). Charmatz’s departure from Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch was confirmed for the end of the 2024/25 season, marking a new chapter while continuing to influence the field through independent projects and collaborations.
