Sauvan, France
To Celebrate the release of our new live album "Live in Berlin", we are releasing a special music video to our song "Grand Masquerade".
The “Grand Masquerade” is the paradox of our everyday life, forced to hide our true selves from the social and familiar norms of society. Be it a political dissident lurking in the shadows of an oppressive regime, a daughter hiding her ambition from a patriarchal society, a son desiring to escape a career path encouraged by his family, or an adolescent terrified of the reactions of friends and family to his or her sexuality, every society creates a need to mask our true selves.
This video was filmed in the Château de Sauvan, also called the Petit Trianon of Provence, which was built in 1719 by Joseph-Palamidi de Forbin-Janson, who died in 1728. No other castle of this type is still existing in the Provence area. In 1975, it has been classified as a historic Monument. Its park and its current gardens received the « remarkable garden » label.
This video was filmed and edited by Stephan Hillairet from Drone Pixels, based in the South of France, who has a company specialized in audiovisual and aerial imaging works. He filmed our video together with Fabien Belmonte who is a photographer and free-lance video-maker since 2008, also based in the south of France. A special Thank You goes out to our friend Denis Gankine, who made this collaboration possible and is our Godfather in Aix-en-Provence.
