For this summer\u2019s 2024 Olympics, Nantes will be hosting the men\u2019s and women\u2019s football tournaments at Stade de la Beaujoire stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this playful city, where art and sport have long gone hand-in-hand \u2013 as can be seen by recreational works like L\u2019Arbre \u00e0 basket<\/em> (ALT\/A), On va marcher sur la Lune<\/em> (Detroit Architectes and Bruno Peinado) and Ping Pong Park<\/em> (Laurent Perbos) \u2013 what better way to celebrate this event than by inviting the Ballet de Lorraine dance company to perform Discofoot<\/em> at the Feydball?<\/p>\n\n\n\n They danced up a storm at last year\u2019s La Nuit du Van, and the teams will be facing off again at the Olympic Village, Club 24 \u2013 which will be hosting a wide range of activities during the Olympics in Nantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discofoot<\/em> is both a performance and a football match, using the traditional rules of soccer \u2013 only here, the performers combine a pre-established choreography with limitless possibilities for improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, they must all respect one golden rule: no running. The only way to play is… to dance! Each team is assessed by a panel of judges, who award points the same way one would in a figure-skating competition. The aim is not only to score goals, but also to be as creative as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<\/div><\/section>\n\tThe Olympic Games in Nantes<\/h2>For more information<\/a>
