This spring, the brand will present its “On the Wings of Hermès” performance at the Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood. The multimedia project premiered in Paris in March 2022, and has since been staged in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and Shanghai.
The “cinematographic” performance is a collaboration between the brand, Belgian creative duo Jaco Van Dormael and Michèle Anne De Mey, and the Astragales dance company. Based on the fable of Pegasus, the seven-part work is told through dance, music, puppetry and cinema. Set on miniature theater stages within the hangar, scenes are performed live and projected onto large screens for the audience.
“We are thrilled to bring ’On the Wings of Hermès’ to the Miami area, continuing its worldwide journey as a beautiful showcase of handcrafted artistry, limitless creativity, and whimsy,” said Hermès Americas president and chief executive officer Diane Mahady in an email. “Created in collaboration with Astragales, we are sure our friends and clients will be captivated by this immersive storytelling experience.”
“On the Wings of Hermès” will open in Miami on April 18 and run through April 27, with daily shows at 2, 4 and 7 p.m. Admission to each performance is free with public registration accessible through the Hermès homepage.
