...also known as “Journey/Travelers”) brought a burst of color and energy. The red, orange, and yellow costumes accented the Tarzan-esque music, and the dancers marched on stage—dancing in unison first and later in canon.The lyrical pas de deux, “Will You Settle,” choreographed and performed in partners by a jeans-clad Walker and David L.

...Today, the village looks smarter than it ever has: where tractors once lay rusting, Ferraris and suvs now gleam, their owners ensconced in Les Deux Abbesses' luxurious embrace. "We have created a company that employs more than 20 workers, 90% of them local," says Hermet, "and we have worked toward the preservation of rural architecture."
