The Great Tympanum of the Basilica of Vézelay "The Dance of the New Adam" DVD

The DVD "The Dance of the New Adam"is a film about the sculpture of the great tympanum of the Basilica of Vézelay. A symbolic journey proposed by the Visitors' House.

"Look at me," this little caterpillar man seems to be telling us, "look at me closely; the position seems impossible to hold and yet you can't imagine how pleasant it is: I'm breathing... my skull resting on the soles of my feet, as if heaven and earth were coming together!"

Under the impulse of a new energy, all the inhabitants of this tympanum, people and animals, plants and constellations, also begin their dance around Christ, the "New Adam". This film is a symbolic journey. With its exceptional photographs, it invites you to delve into the folds of the stone. It brings to life a 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.
