Luigi XIV re e ballerino | storia del balletto | Re Sole | arte e potere | danza | Ballet de la Nuit

We tell an important moment in the history of ballet through the figure of the French king Louis XIV. The name with which he went down in history, "Sun King", is due precisely to his incredible interpretation of the God of the Sun in the Ballet de la Nuit, a show commissioned by the powerful Cardinal Mazarin for the purpose of political propaganda. Louis XIV was the first great ballet icon of all time. During the video we listen to music by the Italian Jean-Baptiste Lully who was the official composer at the court of King Louis XIV.
