NOUVEAU CIRQUE | THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES
For the next edition of Nouveau Cirque, we are diving into the breathtaking visual poetry of Sergei Parajanov’s The Color of Pomegranates (1969). A cinematic experience unlike any other, this film transforms biography into pure art, blending Armenian heritage, religious iconography, and surrealist compositions into a hypnotic visual experience.
