Conjuring the pulse of a people - Dior Cruise 2021 and Sharon Eyal

Celebrated annually by La Notte della Taranta, the powerful, palpitating rhythms of the traditional Puglian folk dance known as the pizzica provided a resonant cadence to the unveiling of the Dior Cruise 2021 collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri. A regular House collaborator, choreographer #SharonEyal - accompanied by an orchestra and singers conducted by Paolo Buonvino - drew on the profound, primitive emotions at the core of the music, which traces its roots to an age-old rite for treating the effects of a spider bite, in order to transform the pain into a hypnotic expression of liberation. © Film by Edoardo Winspeare
