Elisa gets lost in the corridors of Bastille—it’s her first day as an intern with Laure in the millinery workshop. Gregory, the ballet master, begins working on Hofesh Shechter’s new contemporary creation, RED CARPET.

On level -6, we find Michel, who takes care of the floor where sets are assembled before being brought up to the stage. In the workshops, Jean-Philippe, who designs the technical plans for the sets, goes to check that everything is running smoothly in the sculpture workshop.

Meanwhile, on stage, Coline, the stage manager, is preparing for the performance of THE BARBER OF SEVILLE.
