Patrice Chéreau, Pascal Greggory, une autre solitude
A look at the entire process of creating and developing Patrice ChĂ©reauâs third staging of "In the Solitude of Cotton Fields" by Bernard Marie KoltĂšs with Pascal Greggory and ChĂ©reau himself. From the first reading around the table through the first contact with the performance space, rehearsals and lighting to opening night, the entire creative process unfurls in front of our eyes. The film shows us the evolving and ongoing dialogue between Greggory and ChĂ©reau, a dialogue full of crises and magical moments of harmony and insight via which the truth, intensity, complexity, mystery and depth of KoltĂšsâ text gradually emerge to form an implicit bond between these two men. The film also shows ChĂ©reau directing rehearsals for Mozartâs "Don Giovanni" in Salzburg, revealing both the unity of and profound differences between his opera and theater work.Production Companies:
