A show that humorously mixes soccer and dance, to the rhythm of a euphoric DJ set.
Between choreography and improvisation, the players reinvent the rules of soccer: no chasing the ball, only dancing counts! During this match-performance, each team is assessed by a panel of judges, who award points for both creativity and goals scored.
The match begins with the traditional ceremony: announcement of the players, warm-up, handshakes, anthem, team photos... The teams take their places on the soccer pitch, which has been set up inside the hangar, and the first half kicks off with a choreographed warm-up sequence. Following the second half, the artistic scores and the number of goals scored are added up. The jury announces the victorious team, who leave with the trophy, not forgetting to take one last lap around the track to the applause of the audience.

Saturday June 8 - Commodern dance on a city scale
12H - EVENT - "The Danced City (duration: 30 min. approx.)
The Danced City is an invitation from Paris Dance Project to celebrate dance in the urban space of Ile-de- France.
If monuments inscribe stories in the hardness of stone, The Danced City invites ten choreographers to bring to life stories other than those usually celebrated, forgotten presences, reanimating ghosts that illuminate the present. Through fragile, vibrant dancing bodies, they are summoned to resonate in a collective, itinerant experience. In the joy of shared moments thanks to bodies animated by music, in the empathy felt at the evocation of forgotten destinies, The Danced City entwines the present with the past.
On June 8, from Meudon to Saint-Ouen, passing through the center of Paris or the Philharmonie, from morning until night, these ephemeral creations cross the capital and sketch a great Paris in motion in dialogue with a central stage where voices, songs, poems and texts are heard.
Hangar Y hosts a creation by choreographer Salia Sanou, specially designed for the building's nave and echoing its history.
Project Artistic Director: Benjamin Millepied / Artistic Creation Collective: Solenne du Haÿs - MascréChristian Longchamp, Fabien Truong and Françoise Vergès
Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 July - Dribbles, rebounds and arabesques... basketball takes to the sky
10 A.M. TO 8 P.M. - IN SITU INSTALLATION "LE TERRAIN DE BASKET EN FAÇADE "
Basketball defies the laws of weightlessness!
Playing with the architecture, visual artist Benedetto Bufalino transforms Hangar Y into a monumental playground that unfolds on two levels, one vertical, on the façade, and one horizontal, on the forecourt. Forced to cross the court to enter or leave the building, visitors are transformed from spectators into impromptu players. The rules of basketball are humorously hijacked by the artist, who does away with the baskets, but offers a multitude of walls on which to try out new figures and even a few dance steps... A sensitive and poetic dialogue is established between the work, the architecture and the history of the place that hosts it.
Surprising, offbeat and sometimes humorous, Benedetto Bufalino's works are also participative. Outside the ultra-codified framework of the museum or art center, passers-by are invited to take a fresh look at a place that was once familiar to them. An installation designed and produced especially for Hangar Y, inviting the public to reappropriate this environment.
Throughout the weekend, the public is invited to take part in / activate Benedetto Bufalino's work.
"The basketball court on the facade is like a mural inspired by a basketball court. It invites us to contemplate reality by means of simple white lines on an orange background. The piece suggests a new appropriation of the space as a playground. The spectator is invited to come and play, reinventing the rules of this public space."Benedetto Bufalino.
SHOWS, IMPROVISATIONS AND INITIATIONS
Hangar Y gives carte blanche to the Kivuko Compagnie for a program based on dance and basketball.
SATURDAY JULY 6 AT 3PM - " BOUNCE BACK SHOW (duration: 45 min. approx.)
Four performers - musician, dancer and basketball player - share the stage, accompanied by a basketball. At the start of the game, the "no contact" rule prevails, with only the ball creating a link between the protagonists. Gradually, the game develops, the ball liberating the "players" and bringing their bodies closer together. The distances between the dancers become blurred, giving rise to an aerial dance in which the body is inspired by the ball's trajectory. The music, composed of the sounds of the ball and match recordings, accompanies this transformation. "Bounce Back" is a show in which music, dance and basketball merge to explore human relationships and our capacity for resilience.
The show is followed by a discussion with the artists of the Kivuko Compagnie.
Choreography and design: Christina Towle / Performance: Dalila Cortes, Joël Beauvois, Guillaume Chan Tan + Sylvain Olliver / Basketball Coach : Sylvain Lauret + Charly Melloul / Musical creation + DJ + Performer: Sylvain Olliver / Set design + Lighting design: Sylvain Dufour / Project initiated within the framework of the Mentorat Les Femmes sont là: Christine Bastin

To celebrate this sport, which originated in the United States in the 1950s and is increasingly popular with young people in particular, Hangar Y has invited artist Eltono to design a permanent artistic installation for the Meudon skatepark, located just a few meters from Hangar Y.
Eltono rehabilitates this urban facility by creating a monumental composition of multicolored geometric shapes. Conceived as a musical score, this fresco gives rhythm to the movements of skateboarders and underlines the lines of passage of the skateboards., BMX or scooters. Adorned with combinations of colors, evoking the cities Californiannes, lhe modules (bowls, rails, curbs...) become launching pads that vibrate to the rhythms of figures of skaters or experienced skaters. By marking, of these colorful sequences, the various passage areas favorite passage practitioners, lhe work harmoniously accompaniestheir movements and reveals volumes characteristic of park.
