Christmas scenography 1/2 For this scenography of Christmas, I wish to make you travel, to make you escape, to dream. I imagine a universe that would immersed us, back into our Christmas tales that we read as a child. I was inspired for this scenography of the book of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol", with the Christmas past, the present Christmas and the future Christmas. Coming out of the ****subway, after climbing the stairs you will find yourself in front of an immense velvet red curtain of several meters. After opening the section of this immense curtain you would find yourself in the middle of an opaque and dark forest. Surrounded by pine trees more or less large, you would advance by walking initially on bitumen and then after a few meters you would realize that you are walking on snow. Snow would fall from the sky. As you walk the forest would open on your passage letting you see luminous points still blurry. The bright points becoming more and more clear you would see hundreds of candles arranged on the ground in the snow and hanging in the air guiding you in your crossing of the forest. Cut off from the world, from the noises surrounding you, you would hear with amazement a whistling foreign sound. Then you would see wooden locomotives hanging in the air advancing and whistling. Then see small wooden puppets in the image of the little soldiers in the Nutcracker come alive, old wooden toys will come alive in their turn. As you go forward you will discover the suspended candles giving place to magnificent chandeliers suspended in the air. Still in the middle of the fir forest, you would walk gradually on a red carpet leaving the snow and past Christmas to reach the present Christmas. Below the chandeliers, in snowballs of several meters you would discover landscapes and white paper decorations come alive. In a first snowball you would see a magnificent Eiffel Tower in paper illuminate and at his feet a merry-go-round turn. In a second you would discover the interior of the Grand Palais transformed into an skating rink and small paper characters ice-skating. Always walking on the ****boulevard you would discover a snowball with Montmartre and its street artists. The fir trees will change as you progress through the forest : in paper, white and huge.
