La Table Verte is a ballet by Kurt Jooss, which was created in 1932, during the rise of Nazism in Germany. Olga de Soto explores the history of the piece to examine its political relevance today. Her project draws upon the testimonies of spectators who have seen this ballet at different moments in history and in different countries, and those of former performers of the piece, at various times and in various countries.
