Ballet of Lights in Toulouse: Which fairy tales are currently being performed?
Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Production
Born at the crossroads of myth and dreams, “Sleeping Beauty” has endured through the centuries as a metaphor for waiting and renewal. From the earliest medieval tales to Charles Perrault’s version, the story of Aurora (the princess plunged into a long sleep before being awakened by love) evokes the fragility of time and the promise of a new beginning. Behind the magic, we also find a celebration of light returning after darkness, of the act that breathes life back into the world. It is a tale of the awakening of the world and the heart, always ready to be reborn in a new light.
Cinderella in a Sparkling Production
Born of folk tales before being immortalized by Charles Perrault in 1697, Cinderella embodies transformation and hope—that transition from the ordinary to the dazzling. In this luminous version, the music blends Tchaikovsky, Handel, and Rossini, combining classical elegance with modern stagecraft. The fiber optics woven into each costume convey the magic of transformation, the lavish ball, and the escape as the clock strikes midnight. Through the light, the emotion of the original tale is reimagined on stage.
