Diabolical surrealism: black cats, Lucifer and orgies

I think you know what "shocking"? Before you answer, take a look at these pictures taken on 12 December 1972 during the Ball of the Surrealists in the estate of the château de ferret. The organizer of the Ball was the representative of one of the wealthiest French families of that time, Marie-Helene de Rothschild.

With numerous photographs people look at us in a very extravagant costumes. The stories of Alexis von Rosenberg – photographer who had this "creative chaos", in fact, the event was a gathering of "dedicated" or Illuminati and other than Satan's Ball this event was not perfect.

Of course, a sign of higher approval from Parisian high society in the form of an invitation to the ball was not all. Guests were the members of the Beau Monde of that time from bankers to artists (one of the organizers, by the way, was Salvador Dali). In keeping with the theme, Marie-hélène has prepared a personal invitation in the style of the Belgian surrealist artist rené Magritte.

Guests in their surreal images were met with servants and footmen dressed in costumes black cats.

"Guests had to pass through a kind of labyrinth of Hell, made of black ribbons, they looked like a spider's web. The guests were met by "random cat" – man in the guise of a black cat – he brought them to the salon upholstered with mystical tapestries," said von Rosenberg. – "Then they escorted a young man with a hat on the dish itself, Marie-Helene faux deer head, weeping tears of diamonds".

According to Alexis, the ball consisted of satanic rites and ended the party by mass Orgy, "which nobody watched what sex was the partner."
