Children of Paradise

Inspired by Jacques Prevert's work for Marcel Carne's famous film from 1945, Children of Paradise takes place in the magical theatrical world of 19th century Paris, set to Marc-Olivier Dupin's music. Choreographed by Jose Martinez, the ballet reveals a mysterious world, the story of a beautiful courtesan Garance, and her complicated relationships with four men who are in love with her: the mime artist Baptiste, Frederick the pretentious actor and womaniser, Lacenaire the thief, and the aristocrat Count Edouard of Montray, who offers Garance a lot to be his mistress. While only having feelings for the married Baptiste, the seductive courtesan flirts freely, leaving everyone heartbroken.
