The “Nuit Blanche” art festival took place in Paris on Sunday night, which this year was also a kind of exercise for the 2024 Summer Olympics in the French capital. At the festival, which has been held since 2002, modern art is shown not only in museums but also on the streets at night. This year, the Seine was also heavily involved, on which the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games will take place next year.
As part of a so-called Cultural Olympiad, about 200 works of art and performances were shown on the banks of the Seine in Paris and other cities on the river. These included giant sculptures, boats blaring music, and an unusual mix of sport and culture such as a Wild West-themed table tennis tournament and a mix of Mexican wrestling and burlesque dancing. The festival program also included the performance of a dervish dance and a drone installation in the night sky.
