For this 2026 edition of Nuit Blanche, themed around love, Le Carreau du Temple welcomes creations by choreographers Leïla Ka, Olivier Dubois and Mickaël Phelippeau!
Nuit Blanche is celebrating its 25th anniversary! A must-attend event for Parisians, it once again takes over public space to celebrate a living, accessible and shared culture. This edition, themed around love and led by Barbara Butch, invites everyone to turn the night into a time for encounters, creation and freedom. Paris, its streets, squares and cultural venues thus become the stage for a collective celebration, open to everyone, on June 6, 2026. Le Carreau du Temple is one of the official venues for this new Nuit Blanche, with an evening entirely dedicated to dance and collective experiences. Audiences are invited on an intense choreographic journey, where energy, rhythm and creativity unfold on the stage of the Halle du Carreau du Temple.
