On Tuesday 18 November 2025, the Chaillot Foundation hosted its second annual gala evening. Operating under the aegis of the Fondation de France, the Foundation drives the artistic and inclusive vision of the Chaillot National Theatre for Dance, which has been led by Rachid Ouramdane since 2021. Chaired by Laurent Martinet and backed by major founding partners including Dior Couture and L’Oréal, the Foundation is dedicated to transforming Chaillot into a welcoming space that fosters social connection, using dance as a powerful tool for empowerment and unity. In doing so, the Foundation supports Chaillot’s creative ambition by funding choreography, driving social inclusion, making the arts accessible to all—particularly young people—and preserving the theatre's historic heritage.
Guests at this exceptional event enjoyed an enchanting programme. The evening began with an exclusive staging of LORA, a piece from Rachid Ouramdane’s acclaimed production TORDRE. This was followed by a spectacular banquet in the Foyer de la Danse—boasting breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower—with a bespoke menu designed by multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. The celebration continued with an exclusive preview from the dance collective Hervé x MazelFreten, before renowned DJ Barbara Butch took over to set the dance floor alight.
The inaugural Chaillot Foundation Gala Dinner took place on Thursday 14 November 2024 at the Chaillot National Theatre for Dance. This unique evening was hosted in a truly spectacular setting, made possible through the generous support of our partners Christian Dior and L’Oréal Paris, alongside the Foundation's Chairman, Laurent Martinet.
Guests gathered for an exclusive performance of Contre-Nature by Rachid Ouramdane, Chaillot's Director and Choreographer. The evening continued with a banquet in the Foyer de la Danse, overlooking the Eiffel Tower, featuring an exclusive excerpt from choreographer Sharon Eyal's piece Into the Hairy and a high-energy DJ set from Barbara Butch.
The bespoke menu was created by celebrated chef Tatiana Levha, with exquisite desserts crafted specially for the occasion by Cédric Grolet and Le Meurice. Fine wines and champagnes were provided by Moët Hennessy, while the stunning floral arrangements were designed by Éric Chauvin.
All proceeds from the evening go directly to the Chaillot Foundation. Our mission is to fund artistic creation and touring, ensure the arts are accessible to the widest possible audience, drive digital innovation, and preserve the magnificent Art Deco heritage of the Chaillot National Theatre for Dance.
Through your generosity, you are directly helping to champion dance in all its forms and support the global reach of choreography at one of its world-leading institutions.
Under the aegis of Fondation de France, the foundation is dedicated to making dance a powerful force for social inclusion, empowerment, and cultural connection. Through initiatives that foster diversity, audience experience, and artistic innovation, Chaillot is redefining how a national theater can transform society through dance.
