« Un coin de Paradis » de Josette Baïz Groupe Grenade

This vibrant dance spectacle, originally created by José Montalvo, is reimagined by the talented young dancers of Groupe Grenade under the direction of Josette Baïz. Blending contemporary, break, classical, and African dance styles, the show is a joyful hymn to diversity and good humor. First staged nearly thirty years ago, "Paradis" became a landmark work for its fusion of styles, bodies, music, and aesthetics, appealing to audiences of all ages with its whimsical, collage-inspired universe.

Groupe Grenade, founded in 1997 in the northern neighborhoods of Marseille, consists entirely of young dancers—children and teenagers—who develop a choreographic language that transcends boundaries. In 2026, Baïz chose to revive this cult piece, which resonates with her own artistic journey and carries a message of happy fraternity. As a nod to the original, the revival incorporates video excerpts of the original performers, celebrating the double anniversary of a pivotal moment in dance.

The performance lasts one hour and is suitable for ages 7 and up. It offers a family-friendly experience that combines humor, artistry, and a celebration of cultural fusion.
