THE LAVENDER FOLLIES

Ballet 45 minutes

Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Ballets de Monte-Carlo

Premiere 24th July 2018

The Lavender Follies is a work that celebrates and deconstructs theatrical history. Set in a fictional cabaret, the Lavender Follies takes place in an atemporal epoch in theater. Striptease, comedy, dance, performance art, and architecture are intertwined to create a daring and curious spectacle. The nature of performance, expectation, catharsis, and design are all called into question.
