Le Ballet De La Nuit (12th Hour) Installation

Le Ballet de la Nuit The 12th Hour – a film installation by Mihaela Griveva.
Music by James Hazel.

The installation is open for visitors at Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre 26 May – 8 June 2019.

Le Ballet de la Nuit The 12th Hour is inspired by the transformation that occurs in nature in the time between sunset and sunrise. The work explores the interaction between the Sun King represented by a female embodiment of a Goddess and the elements of nature.

The film is part of a collective screendance work produced by International Video Dance Festival of Burgundy depicting various artistic representations of Le Ballet de la Nuit (The Ballet of the Night), a 13-hour ballet which debuted the talents of fourteen-year-old Louis XIV as Apollo, the Sun King.
