Story synopsis on screens in English & Thai
Shop around if you like, but you won’t find a more compelling fashion icon to dramatize than the pioneering, controversial, creative mastermind Coco Chanel. And the National Theatre of Brno, led by renowned artistic director Mario Radačovský, has designed a catalogue of her life story that’s sure to sell out fast.
We open in a luxe hotel room chaotically prepping for a fashion show, where an older Coco studies her reflection and rewinds to her rivalry with Émilienne d’Alençon over Étienne Balsan. Now comes the reveal of the famous hats that first made her name. Then she ascends higher into society, and into a life-altering love with Arthur “Boy” Capel. Success. Self-empowerment. Determination. Belief. Passion. Creativity. War. Scandal!
This is a stirring, thought-provoking tale told through ballet of a magnate who symbolizes elegance and independence, yet whose choices make for a riveting cautionary tale. A brilliant depiction of the life of a genius.
