This year's Crossing The Line festival highlights new collisions and experiments in audience and form, inviting art lovers to experience boundary-breaking visual art, music, film, dance, and theater all across New York City.

A family-friendly visual art exhibition-workshop—originally created by the husband-and-wife duo Clédat and Petitpierre for the Centre Pompidou—combines the tactile whimsy of mobile sculpture with interactive dance. In the evening, renowned cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton presents the New York premiere of D'Est en musique, a gorgeous tapestry of film and music that she created in 2005 in collaboration with her late partner, the inimitable Belgian auteur Chantal Akerman.

Schedule of the Events:

Les tutomouves

As a lighter version of the monumental installation Les plantamouves originally created for the Centre Pompidou in Paris, this exhibition-workshop combines the tactile whimsy of mobile sculpture with interactive dance, inviting audiences of all ages to engage with more than 240 vibrantly colorful foam pieces through inventive video tutorials.

Location: L’Alliance New York Gallery, 22 East 60th Street, 1st Floor, New York, NY 10022

11:30 AM and 3:00 PM: Coquilles

Amala Dianor, Milane Cathala-Di Fabrizio, Estanis Radureau

North American Premiere

Duration: 30 minutes

Created for audiences as young as one year old, this rousing piece for two dancers crafts a graceful, accessible story of contrasting physicality, shared language, and connection across difference. Choreographer Amala Dianor got his start in the hip-hop battle scene and brings that energy to this thrilling interplay of street-influenced movement and balletic form, incorporating props and costumes that riff playfully on the natural world.

“Amala Dianor finds the right tone to give the youngest audiences the possibility of curiosity about the world and openness to new experiences.” — Nathalie Yokel, La Terrasse
