A cascade of emotions at the Château of Versailles

Château of Versailles-Spectacles was looking for a dance floor which could stay outside for a whole month! Nothing ventured, nothing gained, thanks to Harlequin CASCADE™ vinyl floors.

In July 2007 an astounding performance of Swan Lake took place in one of the most prestigious settings in the world: the gardens of the Château of Versailles. The English National Ballet danced on Harlequin CASCADE™ vinyl flooring, which was laid outside in the Le Nôtre gardens.

Harlequin CASCADE™: withstands all tests

The most robust of Harlequin’s nine vinyl floors; it is also a favourite among many large classical ballets because of its slightly rough, slip-resistant surface. One year later in July, the Château of Versailles will once again be the magical setting for the Tokyo Ballet’s tribute to Maurice Béjart.

A stage worthy of the Sun King!

On an enormous 600 m² stage covered with a Harlequin CASCADE™ vinyl floor, the Japanese company together with Sylvie Guillem interpreted Le Sacre du Printemps, La Luna, Bugaku and Boléro. Laid outside at the Neptune Lake, the Harlequin CASCADE™ vinyl floor braved all weather conditions for a whole month. Its fibreglass coating ensures a perfect dimensional stability, which keeps it from rippling in spite of temperature variations.
