🇫🇷 France First Rehearsal: At just 17 years old, Monroe delivers a highly theatrical performance inspired by the French Romantic era. The staging begins in thick smoke with Monroe standing on a podium at the back of the stage, before she makes a dramatic march across the 30-metre catwalk to a second platform at the front. Using the steadicam throughout, Monroe performs directly to the camera while pleading “regarde moi”, as five dancers dressed in black physically restrain her during moments of conflict. The black-and-white visual aesthetic is matched by Monroe’s all-white outfit, combining modern tailoring with classic French Romantic fashion, including a bell-shaped skirt, waistcoat and tie. The performance builds to a huge double-ending featuring fireworks graphics and smoke pillars erupting across the stage.
