Surrounded by a community of young dancers and musicians, Némo Flouret invents a show in the present, a world in re-construction blending childhood and collective memory.
Derniers feux is a reverie on the ephemeral and the immaterial: a show about the creation of a show, a nascent utopia carried by ten young performers trying to give shape together to a world after the world. Confronting the fear of danger, the emotion and joy that would come from the "second of eternity" of a final fireworks display, they dance, play music, assemble and disassemble space and scenography.
In a perpetual movement where dance becomes a mode of existence, they are in turn technicians, performers, spectators, linking images that appear and disappear, giving life to dreams as much as nightmares facing the void thanks to the imaginary. To the sound of trumpets, drums and fragmented melodies, their exhilarating energy transforms the present as if each moment were, indefinitely, the last.

About Némo Flouret
Portrait de Némo Flouret dans la Nef du Grand Palais
Dancer and choreographer trained at the Conservatoire national supérieur de Paris and P.A.R.T.S., Némo Flouret works at the crossroads of disciplines, bringing together groups of artists in a multiplicity of spaces. From post-industrial relics with 900 Something Days Spent in the XXth Century (2021) to outdoor spaces and theatrical stages with the collective work Derniers Feux (2025), through Antti Lovag's utopian architecture with Dance Parc (2024) or Forêt (2022), a performance co-created with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker as part of the Festival d'Automne for the Denon wing of the Musée du Louvre, Némo Flouret's work questions how bodies and space dialogue through choreography and performance. Némo Flouret's projects have been presented in various contexts and festivals such as Festival d'Avignon (FR), Seoul Performing Arts Festival (KR), Tanz im August in Berlin (DE), Bozar in Brussels (BE), Tai Kwun in Hong Kong (HK), Watermill Center (US), La Ménagerie de Verre (FR), among many others.
