Hommage A Gene Kelly

Hermes.com > The Story Behind

With pas de deux, the whole dance floor pays homage to Gene Kelly, in acrobatic leaps and the rhythmic stepping of tap shoes, his name is spelled out under their feet like a puzzle. Dancers in his trademark loafers and white socks twirl to the sound of New Orleans jazz… or is it an Andalusian fandango? Seen from above or below in astonishing perspectives, their silhouettes bring this composition of energetic dance steps to life. With its graphic lines and bright colors, Geoff McFetridge’s design draws us into the lively choreography.
