EDITORS COMMENTS
Laurent as Canari in Le Ciel et l'Enfer: A Whimsical Portrayal of Fairies in 19th Century Parisian Theatre This handcolored lithograph, created by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1853, offers a glimpse into the fantastical world of Hippolyte Lucas, Eugene Barre, and Victor Hugo's Heaven and Hell, or Le Ciel et l'Enfer. In this theatrical masterpiece, Laurent is depicted as Canari, a fairy character from the fifth act of this fairy melee, which consisted of five acts and twenty tableaux. Heaven and Hell was a unique production that combined elements of song, dance, and elaborate costumes to create a visually stunning and imaginative theatrical experience. The production, which premiered in Paris in 1860, was a testament to the creativity and artistry of the time, with its intricate sets, captivating choreography, and memorable characters. Laurent's portrayal of Canari highlights the whimsical and fantastical nature of the production. With his vibrant, feathered costume and playful expression, Canari embodies the magical and enchanting world of fairies that audiences would have been transported to during a performance of Le Ciel et l'Enfer. This beautiful lithograph not only serves as a reminder of the rich history of Parisian theatre but also showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of Alexandre Lacauchie's work. The handcoloring technique adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a truly stunning addition to any collection of historical theatre memorabilia.
