Les Grands Ballets - Gala

ORIGINAL PRODUCTION
The Fury Studio
Les Grands Ballets

Les Grands Ballets approached us to create a one of a kind experience. What if you could be on stage with the dancers, take part to the morning class and then experience three breathtaking numbers.

Grands Ballets Trois-Cent-Soixante is unique glimpse into the Grands Ballets family and an exclusive access to the dancers.

Produced by The Fury Studio in 3D 360 with ambisonic sound mastering, this immersive movie in virtual reality (VR) is directed by Carlos Navarrete-Patino and Francis Corbeil. Under the artistic direction of Ivan Cavallari, we present three numbers: Blushing, Crater and Fête Sauvage.
