Zusammenfassung:At its debut in 1866, La Source already had it all: dagger-wielding Muslims dominating veiled women, a magic flower in a green ecology, and a full-blown environmental crisis at the end. When the Paris Opera ballet restaged this Orientalist and colonial drama in 2011, and again in 2014, the contemporary context of homegrown jihad, climate politics, and a law banning the dissimulation of the face in public spaces, kept it relevant.
