In its smoking room, Rinck expresses a vision of feminized hedonism, unshackling this lounge long reserved for gentlemen from its gender-specific repute. The ensemble – with Hebe as its theme, the goddess of youth who served as cupbearer to the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus – is a materialized siren song of immortality.
As in the prologue of The Festivities of Hebe by French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau, which portrays Hebe’s celebratory feast, the goddess is surrounded by her unfailing companions, the Three Graces, representing charm, beauty, and creativity. A feminine ode to festivity, goodwill, joy, life.
