La Cité Radieuse

Le Corbusier’s utopia, to which the title pays homage, dreamt of bringing happiness to people through architecture. Flamand and Perrault question new forms of utopia linked to the advent of this city-world generated by the process of globalisation.
Dominique Perrault was given the task of creating the stage design came up with a device of mesh screens and metallic woven cloth manipulated by the dancers and relayed by a sophisticated system of camera/projectors. These enable the real body and its performance to be examined from unexpected perspectives and simultaneously fromdifferent viewpoints.
A way of shattering the traditional performance setting.

It is an epic production, well done and well performed. It’s
absolutely no surprise that people like it.
