About this episode

In an exclusive audio documentary, discover the behind the scenes of the ballet "Grace, Jeff Buckley Dances" supported by CHANEL. Blurring the boundaries between film, dance, visual arts and music, this new creation choreographed by Benjamin Millepied celebrates Jeff Buckley, a mythical figure of the late 20th-century rock scene. Accompanied by musicians covering Jeff Buckley’s iconic songs, namely the tracks from "Grace", the artist’s only album, twelve dancers give life to a series of tableaux recounting the artist’s artwork and fate.


Ever committed to contemporary creation and dance, CHANEL is honoured to be supporting Benjamin Millepied’s tribute to Jeff Buckley.


The first performances of "Grace, Jeff Buckley Dances" take place at La Seine Musicale in Paris from 5th to 10th November 2024.


Conversation led by Caroline Broué.
