The Ballet de Lorraine casts an eye on May ’68, for an evening that gives full reign to the imagination. With a Happening to whet the appetite, and Merce Cunningham’s iconic Rainforest under the “silver clouds” of Andy Warhol… the show concludes with a contemporary pop creation under the libertarian accents of the New Yorker Miguel Gutierrez.
