The consecration of dance at the Th����tre national de Chaillot

Why is Chaillot today the National Theatre of Dance? In order to answer this question we must first recall the major trends in a sector that is in full effervescence and in constant evolution that of the performing arts to which the choreographic sector belongs. It will also be necessary to paint a portrait of a historic institution in transformation the Théâtre national de Chaillot a concentration of issues that are easily identifiable elsewhere in other institutions and other structures of the performing arts. Finally it will be necessary to shed light on the problem of the change in the artistic project at Chaillot to understand how it was able to take root and find meaning materially and humanly.
