Season 20 is rich with symbolic allusions. For instance, the recurring motif of a red rose—often found in vases or pressed into documents—serves as a metaphor for seduction and danger. The Madame’s gilded cage, a literal room adorned with gold leaf, mirrors the psychological entrapment that often accompanies wealth. These touches nod to classic literature and film, such as Les Liaisons Dangereuses or Federico Fellini’s exploration of excess, bridging high art with contemporary adult cinema.
