Description Many years ago Mallarmé wrote the ‘greatest poem in French literature’, L’après-midi d’un faun which inspired Debussy to write the orchestral piece that represented the ‘birthplace of modern music’ which in turn inspired Nijinsky to create the very first work of modern dance. Now, armed only with a pun (“foehn” is a warm Mediterranean breeze), some sticky tape, fans and a pile of shopping bags, a single puppeteer/magician seems literally to breathe life into the inanimate and adds another French masterpiece to the chain.
