If you have seen the movie The Horseman on the Roof, the male protagonist, Angelo Bardi, a young cavalryman from Italy, was forced to live on a rooftop due to a misunderstanding. There was only one equally lonely kitten, and in what was called a chaotic world at that time, he met Paulina, a young woman with firm eyes and an elegant outfit that did not conform to the worldly outlook. Perhaps the environment at that time was too bad, The epidemic of cholera and the indifference of the world caused the heroine to feel a sense of salvation when he first met her, like catching a piece of driftwood in the dark. The heros deeply proud patriotism also fell into the heroines eyes irresistibly. in the gentle whirlpool.
What we are going to see today is not the cavalry on the roof, but the ballet on the roof. The work is from the street installation artist JR introduced before. This time we gathered with 40 ballet dancers on the roof of Palais Garnier, France, the world-renowned gorgeous opera house. On the left and right corners are two gilded bronze statues symbolizing harmony and romantic poetry: L'Harmonie (Harmony), La Poésie (Poetry), and the statue of Apollo, Poetry and Music in the middle, were actually shot for a special feature of the French magazine Madame Figaro - Les Bosquets, on a roof 56 meters above the ground, wearing a black and white retro polka dot jumpsuit. The dancers feel as relaxed and comfortable as if they are performing on the stage, stretching, jumping, pulling, and constantly rotating in this specific location to perform various difficult movements.
Working with the New York City Ballet (NYCB) and the well-known musical theater writer Woodkid, they launched another performance for the NYCB Art Series 2014 art eventIn this style, the dancers brave the low temperature, and through the rugged surface on the roof, the editor speculates that it may symbolize the ups and downs of life, but it must always be modified according to the existing angles of the statue or building itself, giving full play to The great softness, after being incorporated into the elegant body movements, shows the tight aesthetics under the strong strength.
Perhaps this is also the most special time in JRs career, watch the classic ballet style directed by Bubsy Berkley~
