On 20 October, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the media platform L’éloge hosted Les Éloges, an evening celebrating excellence in the performing arts. During the ceremony, Sharon Eyal received the Prize for Best Choreography for her striking new creation Vers la mort, performed by the dancers of the Opéra national de Paris.

A former winner of the FEDORA – VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Dance Prize 2017 for Love Chapter 2, Sharon Eyal has since continued to redefine contemporary dance with her signature movement language, both organic and magnetic, captivating audiences worldwide.

The FEDORA - VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Dance Prize is supported by Van Cleef & Arpels, in collaboration with Opera Europa. The FEDORA Prizes competition is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.

We are proud to have supported Sharon’s artistic journey and to witness how sustained investment in creativity can nurture the visionary artists shaping the future of the performing arts in Europe.

We also warmly congratulate Constance Arnoult, Emma Lavenka, and the L’éloge team for their inspiring initiative Les Éloges, which shines a light on those who create magic on and behind and the stage.
