In conjunction with the City of Atlanta’s annual festival Elevate, France-Atlanta 2013 brought the Toulouse based dance company G. Bistaki for a magical night in the streets of downtown Atlanta… with a thousand roof tiles of all things.

Mixing circus, dance, music, and theatre, all within the urban Atlanta setting and banal props of roof tiles, purses, and trench coats, G. Bistaki Dance Company took Atlanta on a creative, dreamlike journey that offered a new vision of space and architecture.
