Description
The Basilica of Vézelay, two films
1) The film on the Great Tympanum of the Basilica "The Dance of the New Adam" French version (50mn) and English version (50mn)
''The Dance of the New Adam''
The Christ of Vézelay does not sit, he dances. He does not judge, he welcomes. He is not enthroned in solitude, but dwells in the midst of mankind. Under the impulse of a new energy, men and beasts, plants and constellations also begin their dance around this Christ,''New Adam. With its exceptional photos, this film invites us to delve into the folds of stone. It brings to life the universal message that has been spoken to us since the 12th century by outstanding craftsmen who have remained anonymous. It offers everyone, visitors and pilgrims, young and old, simple reference points for an in-depth reading, a sense of wonder that suspends the march of time. Sources abound: biblical accounts, commentaries by the Fathers of the Church, references to very ancient iconographic traditions. Interpretations abound! But above all, don't say too much, and let the work breathe for you.

Everything is revealed to the eye: the momentum of a perspective, the details of plant ornamentation, the fine pleating of clothes, the marks of labourers and journeymen...
