The duo Albane and Eugénie Drion are selling their first collection of NFTs in collaboration with Worakls on Pianity. Created following an artist residency on Le Bougainville, one of the ships of the PONANT company, the profits from this sale will be divided equally between the Maud Fontenoy foundation (ocean protection) and the Independanse association (support for creation).

Each NFT is conceived as a window, an invitation to travel, a few seconds of a clip directed, edited, and directed by Albane Drion, on music by Worakls, with dancers Isaac Lopes Gomes (Paris Opera), Tristan Ridel (formerly of the Vienna Opera) and dancer Eugénie Drion (Paris Opera).The NFTs are the key to the entire clip and exclusive content, including a "Unique" NFT including two concert tickets for Worakls.
Available on Pianity starting April 13th from 15 euros.
1 Unique Edition priced at 120€ including the clip, as well as two concert tickets for Worakls.
10 Legendary Edition priced at 50€, including the clip and a signed pair of pointe shoes.
100 Epic Edition priced at 15€, including the clip and a still image from the clip.
Born on the water, shot between Istanbul and Athens in August 2022, this project is at the intersection of art (dance, film, music), travel (cruise, imagination, projections), and technology (NFTs, advanced ships, artistic treatment on visuals). This is the beginning of a search, a collective, a vision.
A project in support of ocean conservation and artistic creation
In line with the artistic values of the duo, 50% of the profits from the sale of NFTs will be donated to an organization that protects the oceans, the Maud Fontenoy Foundation, while the remaining 50% will be donated to INDEPENDANSE, a non-profit association promoting intercultural young creation around dance. Outside of this project, the dancers and the artistic duo participate in various events, including galas and workshops in France and abroad. Eugénie Drion, a dancer at the Paris Opera and co-founder of the INDEPENDANSE association, uses dance as a medium to bring together various arts, populations, and technologies. Albane Drion, a graduate of Penninghen in artistic direction, uses her talents to serve INDEPENDANSE, whether in filmmaking (clips, short films), photography, or general artistic direction. In addition to her work at the Alliance Française in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), she is interested in the emergence of new artistic opportunities, particularly related to the development of NFTs.
