Compagnie Blanca Li

Active since : 1992
Company

Blanca Li is a choreographer, film director, dancer and actress.

At the end of 1992, a young dancer with a post-movida aura arrived in Paris from Madrid. She loved parties, dance, the meeting of genres and the crossing of cultures and disciplines. 29 years later, still at the head of one of the few totally independent dance companies, Blanca Li remains as free and inventive as she was at the beginning. With both the glamour of maturity and the choices she has made over three decades, culminating in her election to the Académie des Beaux Arts in April 2019. Her fame and singularity make her more than ever unclassifiable, mainstream or innovative.

Appointed artistic director of the Teatros del Canal in Madrid in October 2019, she reopens the theater in June 2020 despite the pandemic.

Married to a mathematician and mother of two boys, Blanca combines all her lives at 100km/h, without ever denying her tastes and values of eclecticism and her faith in artistic creation. "For me, dance is a universal language without borders or limits in form or style," she says.

She has choreographed for countless musical artists (Coldplay, Beyoncé, Blur, Daft Punk, Paul McCartney...), directors (Pedro Almodovar, Jean Jacques Annaud, Michel Gondry...), and institutions that host her work, her installations, events or choreographies (Grand Palais, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Châtelet, Chaillot, Opéra National de Paris, Metropolitan Opera, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao...) or the names of fashion and luxury that call on her for their events (Jean-Paul Gaultier, Azzedine Alaïa, Stella McCartney, Iris Van Herpen, Cartier, Hermès...). She has directed three feature films (Le Défi in 2002, Pas à Pas in 2009, and Elektro Mathématrix in 2015). In the fall of 2021, she created at Chaillot Le Bal de Paris by Blanca Li, a live immersive show in virtual reality, selected at the Venice International Film Festival in the VR section.
