SUIVRONT MILLE ANS DE CALME IN PARIS

Dear ChangeFashion,

Yesterday I went with Frederik and Alexander to Paris to see Suivront Mille Ans de Calme, a ballet by Angelin Preljocaj made for 10 dancers of the Bolchoi in Russia. All three of us did not want to miss this because the music for the piece was by DJ Laurent Garnier.

When making this piece Mr. Preljocaj was influenced by The Apocalypse of St John. The most impressive was the part where the female dancers were crawling under a plastic film and the male dancers coming to cradle their wrapped bodies, providing a nice image of doom! You can see a video of the ballet here, unfortunately it does not include a piece of the scene i described above.

Before the ballet we met with my friend Hortense and we went for a very nice brunch at Le Fumoir.

After we walked in Jardin des Tuileries and saw this work by Pol Bury in the West Fountain of the park.

As the ballet was in Palais Chaillot, not far from the Eifel tower, we also did the oblogate touristical pictures :-) As it was very cold in Paris, I was very happy with my new Mikio Sakabe sweater!!

Also, there was a strike in Paris, and even the statues were supportive.
