The Life of a Baroque Person, Told in a Baroque Style
Johann Viktor Besenval had chosen the perfect setting for Waldegg Castle. However, the dramatic effects of the architecture and of life itself were more important than the quality of the performances. Madame recounts the life of the Besenval family: candles, banquets, music, fashion, dance, and love affairs blended together into an exuberant zest for life. Yet strict rules applied: Every movement of the feet and hands, every facial expression, and every way the fan was held was assigned a meaning that expressed invitation, indifference, or rejection. Everyone is welcome to take part in the performance. After all, Madame needs an opportunity to show off her exquisite wardrobe.
