A classic tale… in luminous costumes

Here, Sleeping Beauty is told differently: the scene plunges into darkness, and the phosphorescent costumes trace each step like a brush of light. The result: a poetic, legible and very visual ballet, which combines tradition and stage technologies to capture children and adults alike. We rediscover the mythical story in a modern and bewitching staging that remains faithful to the emotion of the tale.

The ballet in 3 points

  1. Six talented dancers from the region carry history with energy and clarity.
  2. The luminous costumes create a fairytale effect that immediately captures the attention of even the youngest.
  3. The seatingis free in each zone (A, B, C, Balcony), according to the order of arrival.

Why do we love it?

  • We like the marriage of tradition and innovation that magnifies the grammar of ballet thanks to light.
  • We appreciate the short format of about an hour, ideal with children and for an evening without going to bed late.
  • You can also take advantage of the friendly setting of the Espace Lumen, which is easy to access and designed to welcome the family public.

The team’s opinion

This “first ballet” is a gentle entry into the choreographic art: the narration is clear, the luminous aesthetics amaze and the soundtrack supports the emotion without heaviness.

Children follow the story effortlessly, adults enjoy the art direction and the quality of the paintings. We leave with stars in our eyes and the desire to go back.
