I have seen pictures,
and this GIF of an exhibit at the Panthéon in Paris, and have just now found a video of the exhibit and a lot more information about it, earlier this month for about ten days,
multi-disciplinary movement artist Yoann Bourgeois installed a rotating
circular stairway with a trampoline at its centre, and a small cast of
anonymously clothed dancers trudged up the steps, each one falling in
succession onto the trampoline and seamlessly rebounding back on to the stairs,
the installation was strategically placed over the
Panthéon’s Foucault Pendulum, which was devised by French physicist Léon Foucault and offers an easy-to-understand demonstration of Earth’s rotation, commonly replicated at science museums around the world, the Panthéon’s
pendulum has been the most well-known since its inception in 1851, according to
co-producers Théâtre de la Ville, Bourgeois’s work is a meditation on Earth’s
gravity, entitled ‘La mécanique de l’Histoire’ (The Mechanics of
History), the performance is a part of the Monuments En Movement series at the
Panthéon, the video was taken by Tony Whitfield.
