Beauty and the Beast

Storyline

Without delving into all the interpretations of the tale, we can detect an initiatory tale aimed at resolving the duality of being: Beauty embodies the soul of the human being and the Beast, his vital force and instincts. With Jean Cocteau, whose film was released in 1946, the focus is on the representation of the artist's inner demons through the dual nature of the Beast. Lost unity or torn human nature, whatever the case, on the symphonic pages of Tchaikovsky, in our proposal the Beast, freed from his inner demons, will marry Beauty under a burning sun.
