In 2021, the association Danser Sans Frontières - DSF and the CCNR are inviting 20 amateur dancers to take part in a participative, intergenerational choreographic creation project, led by Thibault Desaules: Brasero.

The group met regularly at the Velette studio to work together on a piece that would reflect the personalities of each individual. In the end, Brasero will be performed on a number of occasions: on 27 June and 3 July 2021 in the courtyard of the Velette school in Rillieux-la-Pape, then on 5 July 2021 in Lyon as part of the Tout l'monde dehors! festival.
