From Victor Hugo’s rich novel, Roland Petit creates a vivid and theatrical fresco of colour and intensity/
Between Esmeralda in love with Captain Phoebus, Frollo tormented by his desire and the hunchback Quasimodo, a tragic story unfolds against a medieval backdrop, where a fickle crowd swings between joy and cruelty.
Combining neoclassical dance and the spirit of music hall, Roland Petit surrounded himself with the leading creatives talents of the time: Maurice Jarre for the music, René Allio for the sets and Yves Saint Laurent for the costumes, which he wanted “as colourful as the stained glass windows of a cathedral”.
