Stunning Choreographed Performance on a Rotating Staircase Bathed in Pink In Front of the Eiffel Tower

The brilliant dancer/choreographer Yoann Bourgeois and his talented dance company performed a gorgeous visual piece on his rotating staircase-trampoline, bathed in pink light, in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Set against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower illuminated in pink, Yoann Bourgeois, his dancers, and about ten amateur performers presented a new choreographed piece using a rotating staircase-trampoline structure.

The accompanying breast cancer awareness campaign film depicted the emotional stages that can follow a diagnosis.

(translated) The staging conveys the lived experience of a woman facing illness and the various stages following her diagnosis: fear, denial, withdrawal, and then—thanks to a helping hand—a surge of vitality, a comeback, and life itself.

After the piece ended, approximately 20 women affected by breast cancer joined the dancers on the rotating stage.

Around twenty women affected by breast cancer then joined them on this rotating stage, forming—for a brief moment—a small, moving community of humanity.

The performance took place on September 30, 2026, at the launch of the 2026 Pink October campaign organized by l’Association Ruban Rose, a French breast cancer awareness organization.

After collaborating with the Ruban Rose Association on the creation of the Pink October 2026 campaign film, the Yoann Bourgeois Art Company had the honor of participating in its launch event on September 30th.
