Perrault - La Belle / Jean-Christophe Maillot, Ballet de Monte Carlo
With La Belle Choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot has tried to revive the essence of the original fairy tale of The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault. The original story is in fact a barely concealed allegory of carnal lust deferred in which "the sleeping beauty" retains her chastity until her one true love finds her.
