(DANSEURS)
33 bis Rue Doudeauville, 75018 Paris

Creative polymath Manuel Parres excelled in the fields of art, dance and choreography, alongside costume and set design. He joined the Paris Opera in 1945 aged 20 and was a student at the newly established Choreographic Academy of the Opera in Paris. Parres exhibited his expressive drawings and gouache paintings throughout Paris, including at the Museum of Fine Arts. It is said that Parres was a friend of Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso and he certainly had Paris society in his blood. He was the son of the great French singer Germaine Béria, a popular gramophone star, famous for her café concerts between the world wars.
