Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Theater
Jason Morris Danino Holt is a multidisciplinary artist – playwright, theatre and documentary director, performer, translator, poet, television presenter and cultural entrepreneur. He is the founder of the eponymous independent creative group based in Tel Aviv and artistic director of the HABAIT theatre in Jaffa.
In 2016, he was named recipient of the Rozenblum Prize for Best Young Artist. According to the jury’s remarks: “Jason Danino Holt is a young, ambitious and extraordinary artist who has forged a surprising and fascinating journey from television fame to the emergence of a committed artist with a unique, provocative and subversive voice. “
Jason Danino Holt writes and directs most of his works, through which he seeks to push the boundaries of theatre and create an alternative theatrical-poetic world, which offers the audience a new, inclusive and stimulating listening experience. Danino Holt deals with extreme scenarios, which threaten and endanger the placid and comfortable lives of his characters. He uses art to examine, challenge and fight against this life. Danino Holt’s unique style is based on a dense aesthetic, which produces a wildly carnivalesque result – both attractive and repulsive, superficial and philosophical, pleasant and disturbing.

Dance
Sorour Darabi is a transdisciplinary artist from Shiraz, Iran, based in Paris since 2013.
Soriur Darabi’s work explores the reinvention of Persian dance culture and a contemporary understanding of queer culture in pre-modern Iran, drawing inspiration from poetry and literature. Sorour deeply engages with the concept of trance as a constant state of transformation and as the root of Persian dance. His creations address socio-political issues, offering profound reflections on identity, culture, resistance, and the potential of classical forms to open spaces for contemporary concerns.
His works have been presented internationally since 2016 in venues and festivals such as Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Arsenic – Centre d’arts scéniques contemporains (Lausanne), ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival (Vienna), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Fondation Lafayette Anticipations (Paris), Festival Montpellier Danse (Montpellier), Zürcher Theater Spektakel (Zurich), Tanzquartier (Vienna), Tanztage Festival (Berlin), BIPOD Festival (Beirut), December Dance Festival (Bruges), A Corner in the World Festival (Istanbul), Centre national de la danse (Pantin), and Spring Festival (Amsterdam), among many others.
In June 2024, he premiered his first contemporary opera for eight performers on stage. He is currently developing his second contemporary opera, MAJNÛN, for ten performers, set to premiere in 2026.
