The Fondation Louis Roederer is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year and wanted to mark this special occasion right in the heart of the city of coronations, its hometown. To pay a lovely tribute to Reims and its people, the Foundation is launching a call for participation for Slow Show, an unusual collective dance performance. Led by the great choreographer Dimitri Chamblas and open to ALL Reims residents, whether you’re a dancer or not, this invitation to experience an amazing moment alongside a talented artist and at the foot of the Cathedral is not to be missed!
The Fondation Louis Roederer celebrates its 15 years with the people of Reims
2026 is definitely a big year for the Maison Louis Roederer: when its Foundation, which supports contemporary artistic creation on a daily basis, celebrates its 15th year.
It's been 15 years, and the Maison de Champagne Louis Roederer is celebrating its 250 years!In the spirit of this double anniversary, the Fondation Louis Roederer has invited the choreographer Dimitri Chamblas to envision a danced performance, co-created with the willing residents of the city of Reims. The idea? To pay tribute to the city of coronations and its inhabitants, through a collective, inclusive artistic event that encourages encounter and sharing.
Slow Show, a participatory performance open to all Reims residents
Slow Show is the name of the performance that will come to life before the spectators on Saturday, May 23, 2026, and they will experience a truly suspended moment.
Dimitri Chamblas, a renowned dancer, has crafted a choreography where the movements are slowed down to the extreme, set to music by composer Eddie Ruscha, blending samples of electro and more. Real sounds of the city of Reims.
And the concept goes even further, as the dancers will all be... from Reims! The Foundation invites the residents of Reims to take part in the creation of Slow Show. Never danced before? No worries, the moment is open to everyone, no matter their level of dance experience!
