In "DIAPHANIE or the Memoirs of a Fairy" the transparency of the cellophane takes us to the marvellous world of fairy tales. The crystal palace, the glass slipper, the diaphanous dresses, they all are effortlessly illustrated and it only takes a snap of the fingers for the spotlights to throw warmth and cold, water and fire upon them. In osmosis with the water and light scenery that she created, Barbara Mélois transposes with delight the story of Cinderella. Charles Perrault had made a universal story out of it, she turns it into a "Cinéma paradisiaque" playing with the contrasts of poetry and modernity. "DIAPHANIE or the Memoirs of a Fairy" draws its inspiration from various sources: from Baudelaire's "Le don des fées" (Le Spleen de Paris) to "The story of a young doctor" by Boulgakov, not to forget the most obvious of them all, Charles Perrault's "Cinderella or the small glass slipper".

"A tightrope dancer had so arranged her life that, as long as she kept working in the same circus, she never came down from her trapeze by night or day”. Variation on First Sorrow, in The Penal Colony and other stories, Franz Kafka. 15 minutes in the life of a tightrope dancer whose Ariadne thread would be a roll of sellotape.
