Description
Staged within the opulent confines of the Palais Garnier, this production breathes movement into the narrative arc of Abbé Prévost’s 18th-century novel. The choreography translates the protagonist's internal friction—the pull of untethered desire against the crushing weight of rigid social expectations—into a series of dance sequences. It is an exploration of a life defined by the tension between individual agency and the era's unforgiving moral architecture.
