The
Centre national du costume de scène et de la scénographie continues its
collaboration
with Christian Lacroix, following him into the heart of the Opéra national de
Paris where he created the costumes for the ballet La Source, in a
choreography by Jean-Guillaume Bart, Danseur Etoile. These sumptous costumes
embroidered with Swarovski crystals were worn on stage by the Paris Opera
Ballet at the Palais Garnier in the autumn of 2011 and are presented here in
an exhibition organized by Christian Lacroix.
Chrisitan
Lacroix, great fashion designer who has become a designer of costumes for
theatre, opera and ballet, created the sumptuous costumes for the ballet La
Source, given at the Opéra national de Paris in the autumn of 2011. This
romantic ballet, which disappeared from the repertoire of the Opéra at the
end of the 19th century, tells the story of the sacrifice of Naïla, spirit of
the source, for the love of the hunter Djemil and his beautiful Nouredda.
Jean-Guillaume
Bart, Danseur Etoile, trained at the dance school of the Opéra, had long had
the project to bring this ballet back to life. Brigitte Lefèvre, director of
dance at the Opéra national de Paris gave him the occasion to do so.
To explain
this work, interviews and reports are shown as part of the exhibition.
Brigitte Lefèvre, Jean-Guillaume
Bart, Clément Hervieu-Léger, Christian Lacroix, Eric Ruf and the dancers of
the Paris Opera Ballet evoke the specifics of the creation of this ballet.
The
visitor can also watch reports in the costume workshops (costume fittings,
treatment of materials), the elaboration of the make-up design, the creation
and mounting of the sets, the rehearsals, etc.
