Craft of Hermes takes center stage

A poetic and cinematic performance of French luxury design house Hermes "On The Wings Of Hermes" is running at the West Bund Art Center in Shanghai through to Dec 19.

Co-created by Belgian duo of director Jaco Van Dormael and choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey, together with the Astragales dance company, Hermes invites the audience to travel to an imaginary universe.

In the darkness of a space that resembles a film studio, seven sketches, which blend together dance, object theater, music, and cinema, reveal, one after another, a showcase of the tales and Hermes objects for the visitors.
