A confession of hopes, dreams, failures and sins, The Flowers of Evil attempts to extract beauty from the malignant. One must evoke the artificial and paradoxical aspects of life. Beauty can evolve on its own, irrespective of nature and fuelled by sin. The ideal transcends over the harsh reality where all senses are united in ecstasy.
"The dance, music, through its rhythms, mark the meeting of the earthly and the celestical. It takes us into the regions of inner conflict where good and evil are opposed. The dancers, both angels and devils, invite us to the ball. It is up to us to dance." Revue Spectacle
