Pulse Festival

4th Edition — Dances and Childhoods

From March 1 to 29, 2025, the Pulse Festival presented its 4th edition with a remarkably dense program: 36 performances and 24 events spread over a whole month, at Atelier de Paris and beyond its walls—in libraries, daycare centers, and schools in Paris and the Île-de-France region.

This edition brought together artists such as Hélène Iratchet, Pauline Bigot, Steven Hervouet, Yan Giraldou, Amélie Malleroni, Julie Nioche, Amala Dianor, Gaëlle Bourges, Sarah Crépin, and Etienne Cuppens, offering choreographic creations accessible from the youngest age.

Accessibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing people was at the heart of this edition, with visual performances, bilingual LSF-French performances, and portable hearing loops available at the reception.
