LA PÉRI: A PRELUDE (World Premiere)
DIR. BALTHAZAR AUXIETRE
FR | 5 Min | Interactive Experience
Inspired by Walt Disney’s Fantasia, La Péri is a visually stunning pas de deux between two dancers, one played by you! On the stage, you are Iskender, a dying prince, in search of "the flower of immortality". Finally, when reaching the coveted artifact, you face a guardian spirit, "La Péri" who gradually turns into a beautiful ballerina that bewitches you to prevent you from taking possession of the flower.
