Hermès Presents Cinematic Performance "On the Wings of Hermès" Debuting in Miami on April 18th

Prepare to be swept away. Hermès is bringing its mesmerizing theatrical spectacle, "On the Wings of Hermès," to the Hangar at Regatta Harbour, opening its doors on April 18th. This isn't just a performance; it's a cinematic poem, a dream brought to life.

Imagine stepping into a darkened film studio, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. You're invited by the legendary French house to embark on a journey into an ethereal universe, conjured by the visionary Belgian duo, director Jaco Van Dormael and choreographer Michèle Anne De Mey, in collaboration with the captivating Astragales dance company.

"This work metaphorically illustrates the lightness that is omnipresent at Hermès,"

explains Pierre-Alexis Dumas, the brand's Artistic Director. "From the delicate precision of our artisans to the ethereal quality of our materials and the subtle nuances of our fragrances, it's an experience designed by artisans of dreams, sparking the imagination."

"On the Wings of Hermès" unfolds as a series of seven vignettes, each a miniature masterpiece, narrating the enchanting tale of Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, and his seven foals. This isn't your typical stage show. Van Dormael and De Mey seamlessly weave together dance, object theater, music, and cinema, creating a breathtaking tapestry of visual and auditory delight.

Picture this: poetic figurines and iconic Hermès objects, like the coveted Kelly bag, brought to life as graceful puppets, dancing in a whirlwind of choreographed hands. A mini circus erupts, followed by a whimsical opera sung by the aforementioned handbags. Gloves intertwine in a lyrical flight, and lovers are swept away by a celestial wind, their dance projected onto a vast screen in real-time.

The magic happens as dancers, choreographers, image, and lighting technicians unite in a dazzling display of artistry. Van Dormael's real-time cinematic capture amplifies the illusion, transporting the audience deeper into the dream.

Following successful runs in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore, this globally acclaimed production lands in Miami, promising an immersive, multi-sensory experience that captures the playful and lighthearted spirit synonymous with Hermès. This is more than a show; it's a flight of fancy, a testament to the power of imagination, and a celebration of the artistry that defines Hermès.
