This makes much more sene than Last Supper. Got a source on it actually suppised to be reannacment of this painting?
Not doubting you because I have eyes but some people migh be blinded by their christian goggles.
The DJ in the center posted about it: https://jlai.lu/post/9004279
Also the post has screenshots about the two different moments, 40 minutes from each other.
Ok, I don't speak French, but tried to translate using the new translator beta in Firefox. From what I understoon from the OP, they say it was in fact Last Supper and is making comparisons to it. This is somehow confirmed by DJ from all people?
In the comments of the linked post, there is a link to an article where the artistic director directly reacts and says it is not. That it was supposed to be an image of a pagan festival. He doesn't cite inspirations, but it being the Feast of the Gods mentioned in the comment here is not too far fetched.
From the article, as translated by Firefox:
Was it the Last Supper? It was "not my inspiration," replied Thomas Jolly. "I think it was quite clear, there's Dionysus coming to this table. He's here why? Because he is god of the feast..., of wine, and father of Sequana, goddess connected to the river." "The idea was rather to make a great pagan festival connected to the gods of Olympus... Olympus... Olympism," he continued.
