BACKGROUND
Paris reaches a cultural maturity that reeks of decadence and immorality in the early twentieth century. One evening, opening night at the Musard, a club famous for its costume balls, features "Lucifer in Hell". The lead dancer icily and violently dances, representing the demonic magic of the fallen angel Lucifer, who appeared before Adam and Eve in the disguise of a snake to tempt them away from God thus and seek his own revenge. The audience spellbound by the unreal dance, lavishly praises the performer. Shortly afterward, the dancer returns to the stage, and upon recognizing the up-and-coming choreographer Jean-Paul, says to him: "My name is Lucifer. I have come from Hell to see you". Jean-Paul realizes that he alone can hear Lucifer's voice. He invites the astonished Jean-Paul to pay a visit at his mansion and then suddenly disappears.

At dusk a few days later, Jean-Paul visits Lucifer's mansion. His host leads him into a garden filled with blooming roses blooming "blue" roses. Lucifer asks the choreographer to create a work to be titled "A Dance in Hell". He is sure that his magical dancing skills will fascinate people and thereby make them revere him. He also reveals that he will use "A Dance in Hell" as blasphemy and, therefore, as revenge against God. Jean-Paul cannot resist Lucifer's magnetism.

The production of A Dance in Hell begins.

Lucifer, who was thrown out of Heaven by God, eternally lives in darkness, suffering from profound loneliness. He strolls through Paris and comes to a small church in a popular quarter. A blind prostitute, who has fallen nearby, is brought into the church. Lucifer learns that she was named Lilith after the female devil, and sympathizes with her in her loneliness, which he realizes is similar to the darkness in his own heart.

Lucifer captivates and manipulates important persons of society one after another. People reverse themselves about their critical views they have had toward Jean-Paul's works. Jean-Paul questions Lucifer about his true purpose in making "A Dance in Hell". Lucifer answers that he wants to discover why God created human beings. Jean-Paul tells Lucifer that human beings are predestined that they often shall become devils instead of themselves and that their innocent souls shall become dirty. Then, he talks of his twin sister from whom he has been separated. Lucifer identifies Lilith, whom he saw at the church, as Jean-Paul's twin sister who had been praised as a ballerina only angels dancing in Heaven can match. Lucifer rushes to the church to see her.

Lilith lost her prestigious position and will likely die in a few days. Lucifer asks her if she bears a grudge against God who gave her nothing but suffering. She replies that she wants to believe that God loves even a woman like her and that she accepts God's wishes whatsoever.

Lucifer wonders if people live only for the sake of suffering. In the end, he discovers the true nature of human beings, in the course of his contacts with individuals, who struggle to live on while longing for salvation.
