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.
