Look! More pearls!



The Preljocaj ballet company is one of the most important right now in the universe of contemporary dance. It comes from Aix-en-Provence, in France.
Last year it delighted us with a re-lecture of Antonio Vivadi's The Four Seasons Concerto. Angelin Preljocaj is a powerful and innovative choreographer of our times.
If you have a close look at this dancer in the picture, you'll see she is wearing pearly necklaces, bracelets and anklets with which she makes a special sound that follow her moves.
Does it sound familiar to you?
Josephine Baker, maybe??
I wonder if Prejlocaj had seen the famous vedette with her pearls and her moves.
Sometimes the best way of innovating is reinventing old ways.
