We where so lucky to be able to view the performance of dancers set in the central chapel of the vielle charity, in front of the « Les baigneurs », 1956. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any info about the troop, nor the dance…
The tension and drama of the performance made me think more about refugee crossing the mediterranean than to bathers to be honest..
