Ballet of Lights in Toulouse: which tales are currently being performed?
Cinderella
Born from folk tales before being immortalized by Charles Perrault in 1697, Cinderella embodies transformation and hope, the transition from everyday life to dazzling splendor. In this luminous version, the music combines Tchaikovsky, Handel, and Rossini, blending classical elegance with modern staging. The fiber optics woven into each costume convey the magic of transformation, the lavish ball, and the flight at the stroke of midnight. Through light, the emotion of the original tale is recreated on stage.
Sleeping Beauty in a sparkling show
Born at the crossroads of myth and dream, “Sleeping Beauty” has endured through the centuries as a metaphor for waiting and renewal. From the first medieval tales to the writings of Charles Perrault, the story of Aurora (the princess who fell into a long sleep before being awakened by love) evokes the fragility of time and the promise of a new beginning. Behind the enchantment, we also see a celebration of light returning after darkness, of the gesture that revives life. It is a tale about the awakening of the world and the heart, always ready to be reborn in a different light.
What is Ballet of Lights?
Ballet of Lights revisits the great tales of the classical repertoire, from Cinderella to Sleeping Beauty. This fusion of the grace of ballet and the technology integrated into the costumes of the five or six dancers transforms the stage experience into a dreamlike world accessible to all. In 60 minutes, this condensed version of a ballet showcases the dancers’ virtuosity in the service of pure poetry, accessible to children aged 5 and up, intimate and intensely alive.
