About
The 13th Art theatre presents DISCO, a performance by renowned Waacking artist Josépha Madoki. Known for her standout appearance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony, Madoki brings the raw energy of disco and club culture to the stage. This show serves as a space for collective healing and movement, born from a desire for reconnection and human touch. Performances take place from Wednesday, November 4, to Saturday, November 7, 2026, running from 19:00 to 20:00 each evening. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users.
Seen by millions of viewers during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the first Waacking choreographer to perform at the Paris Opera (Romeo and Juliet, Thomas Jolly, 2023), Josépha Madoki, alias Princess Madoki, is now the leading figure of Waacking in France and Europe.
With D.I.S.C.O., she summons the energy of disco and club nights to create a space for resistance and collective healing, born in the wake of the lockdown. On stage, movement becomes a declaration: one of a burning need for contact, celebration, and bodies responding to one another.
