What was that then? Definitely a lot at once! An operetta from the past, a dreamlike fairy tale, a light musical, a mini-ballet and, above all, a virtuoso pas de deux of the times. Then another thigh-tapping jamboree, a brightly colored tabloid theater farce and a glamorous grotesque; a story of emancipation and a queer approach. The music is often waltz-like, with a delicately dissonant, surreal, children’s theater-funny coating.
