"The Greek lights are sublime, I can't wait to dance with Isaac and Tristan in front of Albane's camera, in these magical places, full of history, myths, and life. I love the idea of leaving a part of the unknown, I am quite certain that we will meet people, be inspired, and transported."
Dancers on the bridge
In the Aegean, spray from waves dances like ancient muses. If we listen carefully, can we catch the echo of one of Zeus’s daughters? Will Terpsichore, the dancer who makes the heart rejoice, inspire the artists in residence on Le Bougainville This summer in mid-August, Le Bougainville will be the theatre of an unprecedented performance, a creative break to witness a unique work being imagined and produced. Dancers Eugénie Drion, Isaac Lopes Gomes and Tristan Ridel, with photographer and artistic director Albane Drion, will not just be putting on a show. They will be immersed in creating a work in the true sense of the word. As the days and encounters go by, the artists will be working on an original choreography, a digital dance in video format which will be auctioned as an NFT (Non Fongible Token), with all proceeds going to two associations: Independanse founded by Eugénie Drion and Maud Fontenoy Foundation.

"One of the aspects that I love about art is that we can touch society in various ways. First, there is the intimate aspect, within each viewer, the emotional reaction."
Then there are the values defended by the work, the questions raised, the attention paid to, the discourse and the vision of the protagonists. And finally, one of the aspects that NFTs have greatly brought to light and intensified is the ability to raise funds and help NGOs and associations in a very concrete way to act on current issues.
Ballet and sunset
An odyssey that is a source of inspiration at the crossroads of the worlds of art and travel. Between Istanbul and Athens, this unique, innovative, and modern cultural project will come to life under the gaze of the passengers.
Because aboard the Bougainville, in this spirit of sharing typical of the Marseille company, passengers will be in the front row, invited to attend a sunset filming on the deck as well as a work session of the artists. A unique and intimate approach to this ancient art that is dance. This project can also be followed on Eugénie Drion's social networks throughout the journey.
