Le Pavillon Noir, 530 Av. Wolfgang Amadeus MozartThe Pavillon Noir is a choreographic center in Aix-en-Provence. The Pavillon Noir is located at 530 avenue Mozart in Aix-en-Provence. The building was designed by Algerian-born French architect Rudy Ricciotti. It was built especially to be the main rehearsal and performance center of the Ballet Preljocaj, a dance company choreographed by Angelin Preljocaj.
The Pavillon Noir is a venue for creation where Ballet Preljocaj and guest companies in residence can work and finish their shows ahead of the first performance. By encouraging the emergence of up-and-coming talent, it has become a sought-after venue in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and a stopping-off point on the international contemporary dance circuit. There are regular opportunities for members of the public to meet the artists and learn all about the creative processes involved.
