Feathers of La Fronde focuses on women in ‘La Belle Époque’ inspired by artist Alfons Mucha and his representation of the female in what was a hugely influential time for women, socially and politically. Awakening his characters from their decorative arrangement, the dance film approaches the struggles for women of this era and also acts as a celebration of the lively feminist activity that took place, which gave birth to assertive and modern women.
