Blanca Li

My name is Blanca Li, choreographer, dancer, and film director working at the crossroads of art and technology. A member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts since 2019, I became president of La Villette in Paris in 2024, after directing Madrid’s Teatros del Canal. My early training in New York with Martha Graham led me to found my Paris-based dance company, I’ve constantly explored new forms of expression. I created immersive experiences like Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li, a VR dance performance (Venice Mostra VR winner in 2021), and l’Ombre, a mixed reality live show in 2025. My work spans dance, film, opera, and large-scale multimedia events, including choreographing the iconic Daft Punk Around the World video. I’ve directed three feature films and numerous museum installations, using cutting-edge tools to expand the boundaries of live performance. Blending tech innovation, digital art, and choreography, I aim to create meaningful connections between audiences and emerging technologies.
