Venice. Venezia. It's been a while. And then, a theatre. A man. A rendez-vous. Michael Nyman at La Fenice. Like if I needed a reason to go back to Venice. One month ago, and I am not sure I really came back. Life in Venice... •

And here I was, back to the Opera de Paris, with a fierce appetite. Women's stories. Two ballets, two women's stories. Two ballets, two out of time characters, two unique rol
