Swarovski X Jean Paul Gaultier for “Falling | In Love” Show at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin
Swarovski brings the sparkle to the new Grand Show of Friedrichstadt- Palast entitled “Falling | In Love”. On the largest theatre stage in the world, millions of our crystals will create an unparalleled magic atmosphere. As Curator and Visual Design Director, iconic designer Jean Paul Gaultier is responsible for both costumes and stage set.
The beauty and the magnificence of our crystals are a perfect fit for the visual design of “Falling | In Love”, which tells the story of You who is unable to find love in the concrete world he inhabits.
