Graces

Co-produced with the Maison des Arts et Loisirs in Laon and the town of Haubourdin

Using humour and mockery, Italian choreographer Silvia Gribaudi seizes on human imperfections and puts them into art, beyond clichés and appearances. Inspired by Antonio Canova’s sculpture The Three Graces, Silvia and three male beauties mischievously seek new meanings of the word  “Grace” – through dance, words and laughter. Graces or when joy becomes the new ideal of beauty.
