VIDEO POST relaunches the documentation of ‘Chiroptera’, the visual transformation of the façade of the Palais Garnier in November 2023 by urban artist JR, whose multimedia intervention accompanied the performance of 154 dancers choreographed by Damien Jalet to music by Thomas Bangalter. The project was presented as part of Act II of ‘Retour à la Caverne’, in collaboration with the Paris Opera, JR and 19M. The costume worn by Étoile dancer Amandine Albisson, who performed in the show, was designed and created by CHANEL. The Maison also supported the design and creation of costumes for the 153 dancers.
