retour aux apparitions
A film by Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud, shot in 2018
“Why wake me up, O breath of spring”, in Jules Massenet’s opera Werther, was one of the arias sung by Michael Jackson in the privacy of his studio. Nina Laisné and François Chaignaud reinvent a Werther who would have been absorbed by Jackson: the same fascination for nature, the desire to revisit ancestral legends and the expression of a disarray in love. The performer sings, dances and metamorphoses, he slips between different vocal and physical registers and seems to prolong Michael Jackson’s dream of total expression.
