Abstract
The article analyzes cultural, historical, and literary inspirations as well as transpositions in the textual and musical layer of songs (which are only covers), the graphic design of two CD versions, and music videos created in a theatrical convention of kitsch promoting Therion’s jubilee album Les Fleurs du Mal released in 2012. It shows the production process, the final effect of the intermedia’s synthesis of arts, and the audience’s reception from the perspective of the project’s decade of existence.
