Slender giraffes, playful monkeys, colorful parrots, koalas, elephants, owls ... or tenderly gathered rabbits. The entire animal kingdom is invited to this new Haute Joaillerie collection, made up of around sixty animal couples, made up of dazzling clips.

The Maison entrusted the scenography to the American Robert Wilson, famous for his staging combining light, subtlety and sensation. Once again, his talent explodes: To represent the Ark, the artist has imagined a sensory staging plunged into the darkness that sweeps us away. The permanent projection of a video is there to evoke the sea; the music suggests the mystery; the sky darkens and streaks with lightning to announce the storm, the departure of the Ark in the raging elements, to find the lull then, sounding the return of peace ... Magic!
