Spotlight
A deliciously naughty valentine to Paris, Fêtes de la Nuit celebrates life, love and all things Parisian, weaving together a pulsating collage of dance, music, language and drama. Set in a sidewalk café in 21st century Paris, Fêtes reveals that from first kisses to eternal bonds, a quiet truth remains: it is always love that makes us human. Fêtes de la Nuit, translated as “celebrations of the night”, sensually expresses the beauty, complexity and passion of the human condition in relationship to the divine experience of lust and love.
Kim Weild acknowledges Park Avenue Armory for residency in association with the development of this work.

Two weeks of rehearsals have already passed, including a meet and greet where everyone, actors and creatives, got a chance to find out more about each other and what the production of Fêtes de la Nuit was all about. The highlight of the evening was being able to meet Charles Mee. But some could argue the real highlight of the evening was the beginning of a special bond amongst us all. Spotlight was there to observe many of the proceedings and can tell you that it is amazing to watch how everyone works so well together and things come together so quickly. Like everyone has an inner spirit connecting to each other both one-on-one and as a group, intuitively. Here’s the batch of photos from our Documentary Photographer Jill Usdan.
