Duke Ellington
The set design for Roland Petit's ballet "Duke Ellington", imagined by Jean-Michel Wilmotte at Tokyo's New National Theatre, combines aesthetics and ingenuity. The meeting of Roland Petit's narrative genius and Wilmotte's artistic vision gives rise to a visual and emotionally captivating show, in which each tableau is an exploration of form, colour and emotion. This staging plays with contrasts, depth and perspective.

My passion was theatre sets. When you see at Les Amandiers, in Nanterre, that all you have to do to create the impression of a world is play with light and make a little sound of water, then you understand what it means to work with space.
