The Jogging Festival makes art chase after the sporting gesture

From May 21 to 24, 2026 , the Carreau du Temple dons its conceptual sneakers once again for the sixth edition of Jogging, an unclassifiable festival where art sweats and sport thinks. Here, there are no timed performances, but rather bodies in contact, unconventional gestures, a stage that engages in critical cardio.

In this hybrid programming, some rendez-vous are essential. First HIT OUT Parini Secondo x Bienoise: jump rope as percussion, breath as the engine, a piece poised between endurance and poetry. Also not to be missed, Coin Operated Jonas&Lander's strange rodeo on mechanical horses where the audience becomes the unpredictable trigger of chaos.

On the dance front, Catherine Gaudet's Les Jolies Choses mesmerizes with its metronomic precision, while François Chaignaud and Marie-Caroline Hominal's Duchesses transforms the hula hoop into an almost shamanic ritual. More direct, Silvia Gribaudi's R. OSA dynamites the norms of the body with humor and power.

Finally, it's impossible to ignore Marine Colard's Pool Party , a joyfully deviant aquatic fantasy, or the final roller dance, a grand collective release to close this arty marathon. Between performances, an exhibition dedicated to emerging artists, and participatory workshops, the Jogging festival confirms that in Paris, thinking about the body remains a discipline in its own right.
