Battuta: The Zingaro Equestrian Theatre by Ted Cahill
French "cavalier" poet and performer Bartabas combines an unimaginable hybrid of horses, horsemen, musicians, images, and dance under the roof of one virtual stable/stadium to create "Battuta," a wild performance art experience on the fence between popular and high art. In this new creation inspired by culture of "les Tziganes" or gypsies, Bartabas, with his troop Zingaro examines the infinite poetry of travel, along with its accompanying freedoms and the danger those freedoms can induce, in a 90-minute performance that hypnotizes the audience to the point of vertigo. Opening 29 June 2006, Battuta takes place nightly through 27 July 2006 at the Festival d'Avignon in France.

d.v.d
Creating more than just beats, Tokyo-based drum trio d.v.d's live installations include synchronizing instruments to Flash technology (hooking up two sets of drums to images) resulting in a video game effect. Members Itoken, Jimanica and Ymg began performing in 2006 and have since gathered a large following of fans in both the music industry and the arts playing around Japan and Europe. This year...

Veuve Clicquot
We were recently invited out to Madame Clicquot's estate in Reims, France to learn about the process of making her Veuve Clicquot bubbly. In between boat and helicopter rides, we visited their vineyards and labs with their cellar masters for a behind the scenes look at the scientific process of fermenting their famous grapes. Check out the video for a glimpse at the good...

Jeff Koons Versailles
"Profound" was the word Jeff Koons used most frequently to express his feelings about his Versailles show at the opening day press conference. After viewing the 17 sculptures installed in the castle's rooms and courtyards, we have to agree. While it's not a word often associated with Pop Art and may read as a self-aggrandizing statement (especially coming from an artist known for his...

Radio Nova
Any Francophile worth their salt should know about Radio Nova, the 27 year-old French station that broadcasts throughout much of the country. There are a lot of reasons to love it, not the least of which is if you find yourself driving a tiny car equipped with only a cassette deck to Le Lude, a renaissance castle in the Loire Valley — as Seth...

Hotel Sezz
On a recent trip to Paris I had the pleasure of staying at the boutique Hotel Sezz, located in the 16th arrondissement, steps from the Seine, about 400 yards from the Eiffel Tower and just a few blocks away from the #6 metro. For all that, the small boutique hotel is located on a tranquil, very residential street, making for a more authentic Parisian...
