music accompaniment and effective technological
sophistication, he allured the spectators.
Even, they were enormously enchanted by

on the expression of metamorphosis where
the stage was designed in such a way that
it resembled a chamber containing full of
meaning or it can be interpreted as a jail’s
room.

Art (CNAC). In his composition he combined
the art of circus, dance and theatre into
a presentation exceeding the frontiers of
art domain and coloured by touching and
poetical atmosphere that also reflected
a contemplation on the significance of human
and humanity essence.
According to Director of Alliance Francaise
Denpasar, Megali Morel, the multimedia presentation
offered a new entity on how the art domain
is creatively responded. "Jean-Baptiste
Andrea was capable of characterizing the
sequence of story so it was easy to be interpreted
freely by the spectators," Morel said.
Other than producing the "Intérieur
nuit", Jean-Baptiste Andre is a dancer
for Philippe Decoufle, Gilles Baron and
Syvain Prunerec. (BTN/015)
