Right in the heart of the Villette gardens, major figures from the history of stage direction come back to life through their costumes, the envelope of theater. The video set-up offers us close-ups on details of fabrics and scissor snips, while subversive game-play and humor lurk as ever around the fringes of this essential component of French theatrical heritage.
