In a case
The Bolshoi – Behind the Curtain
As the first foreign photographer ever invited into the intimate world of the legendary Bolshoi Theatre, visual artist Bruno Aveillan created a striking testimony to a universe rarely seen by outsiders.
Immersed in the creation of Johann Strauss’s opera Die Fledermaus, he adopted an observational and deeply poetic approach, capturing suspended moments in the genesis of a collective work. In the corridors where exhausted dancers rest, in the dressing rooms where actors gather their nerves, he revealed a singular atmosphere poised between chaos and transcendence.
From this immersion emerged a fine art book of rare emotional power, acclaimed by critics and named Art Book of the Month by France Culture, which described it as a profoundly moving meditation on the fragile beauty of artistic creation.
