Film Description:
As daylight falls, La Fée Électricité (The Goddess of Electricity) awakens beneath Paris, charged to bring light to the streets above. As she begins to move, she galvanises her power and emerges onto the streets of Paris, illuminating the city with electricity.
By dawn, having danced all night her electric powers are overwhelmed by the daylight. By morning, her powers are extinguished.
This is a short dance film filmed on location in Paris, featuring Royal Ballet soloist, Viola Pantuso. The story is built on the concept of La Fée Électricité – the personification of electricity in France in the late 1800s, as a woman, or fairy, who brought light and power to the people and streets.
