Some five years ago a world famous performance artist asked an equally famous theatre director to co-create a work about her life. The result has already been hailed as legendary. In a series of sublimely lit tableaux, Robert Wilson stages his biography of Marina Abramović, creating a magical reality that comes to us in hypnotic slow motion. Abramović plays the role of her own mother, portraying her as a wicked witch that poisoned Abramović' youth, while Willem Dafoe delivers a spell-binding performance as a crazed, puppet-like narrator and Antony’s vulnerable voice combines with the haunting music to put text, staging, image and sound in perfect balance. This is a piece of stunning beauty, the defining work of a generation.
