Diavolo


'Picture a metallic cube, packed with hidden spaces that slowly reveal themselves. Imagine dancers, acrobats, gymnasts, and actors turning that cube into a pyramid, then three pyramids, then a wall, a bridge, a labyrinth, a peak – all the while rolling, twirling, and flying across the surreal landscape they've created. Led by founder and choreographer Jacques Heim – the brilliant creator of Cirque du Soleil's Ka – Diavolo redefines dance through dynamic movement, creative expression, innovative use of lighting, sets, and props, and the music of Esa-Pekka Salonen, composer and conductor of the Los Angeles Philarmonic'
The students of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade of L'Ecole Française du Maine were part of the audience of this wonderful show on Friday January 23, 2008. Merci beaucoup to the parents who sponsored this event! Thank you also to Timothy Bowden and Marie Hamann who volunteered to chaperone.
