The life and death of Marina Abramović through the eyes of the artist, the director, the composer, the actor

Uittreksel

"For many years 'godmother of performance art' Marina Abramović and renowned director Robert Wilson had been intending to work together. Ultimately this took shape with the opera project 'The Life and Death of Marina Abramović' Abramović placed her personal archives at Wilson's disposal, and from these he forged a magnificent production involving Marina Abramović herself, composer/singer Antony and actor Willem Dafoe. This phenomenal cast plays out the theatrical narrative of images envisaged by Wilson. In collaboration with Marina Abramović, De Ketelfactory has compiled a kaleidoscopic 'making of' in which unique contributions can be seen. In 'Confession' for example, a recording of a performance by Abramović tells the stories that come up in the opera. The interviews with Abramović, Wilson, Anthony and Dafoe have been adapted for this publication."
