The film follows the coming
together of director Robert Wilson, performance artist Marina Abramovic, singer and
composer Antony Hegarty and performer Willem Dafoe, to create the experimental
opera based on Marina Abramovic’s biography.
Through rehearsal footage and interviews with the artists as they are making the
piece, we get an insight into this unique collaboration: an intimate portrait that reveals
the dynamics, excitement and insecurities of making such a poetic and visually
stunning theatre work.
