Exhibition "Le Serment d’Opéra"

Le Serment d'Opéra (Opera’s Oath) is the result of a meeting between the Parisian Psychiatric Hospital Sainte-Anne and the Paris Opera Academy.

For the past two years, patients have been invited to enter the Paris Opera venues and have agreed to take part, with their staff, in dance workshops led by two Paris Opera Ballet ancers, Takeru Coste and Antonin Monié.

Invited by the Paris Opera Academy, photographer Frédéric Stucin followed this social inclusion programme throughout workshop sessions at the Palais Garnier and Bastille Opera.  

Various events will be hosted during the exhibition, including:

• Danced performances and workshops during works conceived in collaboration with local dance schools and dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet
  
  
• Guided tours of the exhibition organized for everyone
  
  
• Discussions on psychiatry and neuroscience led by professionals and personal experience sharings, as an opportunity for exchange and talks
  
  
• Screenings of dance movies
