Fondation d’entreprise Hermès' New Settings Program
Crossing the Line is grateful for the long-standing support of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès’ New Settings program. Launched in 2011, New Settings supports new performing arts productions that shift borders between disciplines to create innovative art forms. For more than seven years, New Settings has partnered with Crossing the Line to bring important work by extraordinary artists—including Boris Charmatz, Nora Chipaumire, Eliane Radigue and Xavier Veilhan, Fanny de Chaillé and Philippe Ramette, Kyle deCamp and Joshua Thorson, Jessica Mitrani and Rossy de Palma, and Gilles Jobin and Julius von Bismarck, Joris Lacoste, Ali Moini, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Annie Dorsen, Bouchra Ouizguen and Alessandro Sciarroni—in more than ten New York, US and world premieres. For this year’s edition, Crossing the Line will present the US premiere of Cyril Teste's Opening Night starring Isabelle Adjani, Morgan Lloyd Sicard, and Frédéric Pierrot.

BRIDGING: An International Dialogue on Diversity and Inclusion in the Arts
An initiative launched by The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations and FIAF during Crossing the Line 2016, BRIDGING offers international perspectives to evaluate policies and practices in an effort to move beyond simple acknowledgement of cultural diversity to achieve genuine equality in the arts in our shifting cultural landscape. This year, SOMEWHERE AT THE BEGINNING by artists Germaine Acogny and Mikaël Serre will be featured at Crossing the Line as part of BRIDGING.
