As the Stoic philosopher Seneca would have said, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. Toulouse dancer Lisa Parailloux gave us a fine example in a video shot on Wednesday June 19, 2024 on the Pont Saint-Pierre in Toulouse. Posted on Instagram and TikTok, this daring choreography moved thousands of Internet users.

“It’s always sunny above the clouds / But if I were a bird I’d go dancing in the storm”. These are the words of “La symphonie des éclairs”, a song by Zaho de Sagazan, to which professional dancer Lisa Parailloux from Toulouse dances. With summer just around the corner, this young woman from Toulouse has reappropriated the elements to give us a truly artistic performance.
On the night of Wednesday June 19, 2024, as the rain poured down and the occasional flash of lightning illuminated the dark night, Lisa Parailloux took to the Pont Saint-Pierre to perform a cathartic choreography filmed by her best friend Loriane Guichard.
“I’ve been listening to this song for a long time, it makes me cry every time I hear it, and when there was that storm on Wednesday, I thought it was the right time to dance in the middle of the elements, water, lightning and over a bridge” – Lisa Parailloux spoke to France 3 Région.
Published 6 days ago, the video now has almost 40,000 views on TikTok. Also shared on Instagram almost all the comments were very emotional. “I love this song, every time I hear it I get chills, you interpreted it with the magic of a great dancer. It’s full of goodness, love, sadness and joy. Thank you very much,” comments Marline Ducasse. Let’s hope this sublime dance in the rain will invoke the sun.
