coming from all over the world and will be closed by the exhibition-event DANCER INSIDE
PARIS of the photographer and architect Simone Ghera. He is from Rome, based in
Berlin and has been a member of the CID, International Dance Council (NGO affiliated to
UNESCO) for several years.  

During the event, several ballet performances will be held by dancers of prestigious ballet
Companies, accompanied by the pianist live music solo.

The project DANCER INSIDE was presented already in the Palais des Nations at 
UN Geneva in 2020

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project DANCER INSIDE represents Ghera’s personal work and contains images of
dancers from different countries,  companies and academies, taken over several years
 during rehearsals and classes, backstage, outdoor locations based in
significant architectural and historical premises.

Each photograph represents the combination of two opposed but linked elements, which
are the pillars of his project: Architecture and Dance.
On the one hand, Architecture embodies the cultural identity, the history, the geography,
the religion of each place which is unique and different from all the other ones.
On the other hand, Dance is a universal language that overcomes the national and cultural
boundaries and can be understood by everyone.
The combination of these two elements creates a synergetic work of art that aims at
spreading the cultural diversity of the world through the universal language of dancers.
The beauty of the world lies in its diversity and the artistic communication enables the
public to understand it and appreciate it. This is the message that Ghera’s photographs
wants to convey, matching very well the overall mission of the United Nations and the
diversity of its people. In particular in this very occasion, the performance of
the ballerinas with their agility, elegance and lightness will be very inspirational for the staff
working in Human Resources Management.
