From Victor Hugo's rich novel, Roland Petit builds a vivid, theatrical and intense fresco. Between Esmeralda in love with
Captain Phoebus, Frollo tormented by desire and the hunchback Quasimodo, a tragic story unfolds before a fickle crowd
that swings between joy and cruelty.
Combining neoclassical dance and the spirit of music hall, Roland Petit surrounded himself with the leading creative
talents of his time: Maurice Jarre for the music, René Allio for the sets and Yves Saint Laurent for the costumes, which he
wanted "as colourful as the stained glass windows of a cathedral".
