Delightful nude performance of Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes
A performance of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s 18th centrury ballet Les Indes Galantes (‘The Amorous Indies’) in Bordeaux (not far from naturist paradise La Jenny, by the way) with completely nude dancers is exactly what we need in these troubled times.
The story is rather predictable, it’s about innocent creatures living in harmony with nature and each other, until they’re lured by the goddess of war and everybody knows what will come of that, but it’s still a powerful message.
What I find really touching is the a-sexual yet very sensuous nudity of the performers. These dancers, who frolick and prance on the stage like little innocent children, completely without shame. Very romantic. (PB)
