Art For Arts Sake
THEATRE TREVISE
06 November 2007
The gifted writer, refined connoisseur of art and admirer of beauty Oscar Wilde was the founder of the «New Hedonism». Inspired by the aesthetic teachings of Walter Pater and John Ruskin, Wilde became the center of a group glorifying beauty for itself alone. He is called Prince Paradox for creation of many paradoxes reflecting his views and beliefs.
Many people of art drew inspiration from his life and works. So did (and in fact does) the famous illusionist dancer Laurent Berreta who stages his incredible show at THEATRE TREVISE since 6 October to 15 December. A perfect blend of choreography and visual effects will take you into the world of beauty, magic and dreams as Laurent Barreta closely follows Wilde's idea that the search for beauty is the main aim in life.
Laurent Beretta won the Grand Prix Baguette d'Or at the Monte Carlo Magic Festival in 2004. So don't hesitate: come and let the magic take you away!
