(Though the numbers are still exceptional: four months of work, four days of installations, 150 professional dancers plus performers, additions, and, naturally, some costume modifies all totaling up to around 700 appearances.) “When I claim efficiency I do not imply the performing, yet the motion,” mentioned Nouchi, “I helped a dance company in the past, as well as my lesson was actually to pay attention to the dancing and also the activity.” It’s additionally regarding maintaining the significant picture in mind: “When you do a compilation you have one search the runway that folks see, yet below you have one hundred dancers on show business and have to think of exactly how traits appear coming from far plus all instantly.” The target, claimed Nouchi, was to always keep the signifiers of LGN– sharp and also sizable modifying, a rested match as well as total ambiance, and also unfamiliar fabrications and materials– while bearing in mind the match and also wearability of his clothing. Clothing both the dancers as well as entertainers like Christine and also the Queens, who vocalized a remodelled variation of Edith Piaf’s “Non, je ne regrette rien,” meant that Nouchi had to presume outside package and also not restrict himself with too-specific styles or even principles. “There is actually an abstraction of the French flag, so a ton of red, white colored, as well as blue, plus some silver and gold,” he pointed out, “but absolutely nothing also actual, so our team had space to participate in.” There is actually some sports apparel, which Nouchi commonly includes in his selections, plus his tailoring and some more elevated procedures.
