The Flowers of Evil
To bookDescription
A suspended moment, far from the fury of modern life, to feel, to vibrate, and to celebrate the timeless poetry of Baudelaire.<p> Immerse yourself in the world of Les Fleurs du mal, a sensory and theatrical adaptation of Baudelaire's work. On stage, three actresses and one actor bring to life a poetic journey through spleen, love, pleasure, beauty, and death.<br><br> To the sound of enveloping and warm music, each poem becomes a celebration of the five senses. Victorian corsets, soothing instruments, and incense burners contribute to this immersive experience, inviting you to slow down and meditate. You will also hear excerpts from "My Heart Laid Bare," the poet's daily notes. With its unabashed sensuality, this performance explores different pieces from the collection, from the verses of "The Albatross" to the melancholy of "Spleen," passing through the voluptuousness of "The Jewels," celebrating Sapphic love with "Lesbos," and culminating in the terrifying warning of "The Clock."<br><br> <strong>Please note:</strong><br> Upon arrival, spectators will be offered Curiousitea tea "Les Fleurs du mal" created by Benjamin Sieuw as well as a snack including jam on toast.</p>
