Palais des Papes

for London Studio Centre’s Images. 23 May 2023.

A visit at the “Palais des Papes” (Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France) inspired this piece. Our finite end as Humans pushes us to find ways to elevate our condition and give purpose to our time on Earth. However the vulnerability and beauty of faith can get manipulated and used for power and greed. 

Review from Dance Europe’s Mike Dixon: “Palais des Papes by Constant Vigier would look completely at home in the repertoire of any major ballet company.”
