Until the Paris 2024 Games, hundreds of cultural events will combine art, sport and Olympic values. It is the choreographer Dominique Hervieu who is in charge of this vast program.

Each week Théo Curin, vice-world champion in para-swimming, takes us behind the scenes of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Cultural Olympiad set up by the organizing committee. It is Dominique Hervieu, dancer and choreographer, who is in charge of this vast program.

“For the Games, we wanted a multi-disciplinary programspecifies Dominique, with a link that will be highlighted by the artists between art, sport and the Olympic values. Museums, cinemas, living art, everyone is already there. It is a great pleasure.”

Total creative freedom

On the program, breaks in museums or at the Opéra Garnier, thousands of amateurs across France, or artistic posters produced by authors and authors. They are each responsible for creating an Olympic poster and a Paralympic poster, in different forms (comics, collage, photography or drawing) in total freedom with different techniques and sensitivities.

“A dance for all will also be proposedreveals Dominique Hervieu. We are currently working with National Education in colleges, high schools and universities. The slightly more complicated version will be performed by the dancing aces, but a very simple version will allow everyone to gather to celebrate the Games in the fan-zones.

It should be added that places of sporting heritage will be open to the public at the next European Heritage Days, in September. And to know everything about day-to-day programming, you can visit the site Cultural Olympiad.
