This film seeks to be both a performance recording, and a visual experiment.
We want to show the power and grace of the/her body, and in parallel the effort and pain. Marion Gautier De Charnacé is a dancer at the Paris Opera. She embodies this character with her personal brand of visual stamina and musical introspection.
We alternate between wide locked shots and extreme close-up ones as emotions change, as glances are casted. We scrutinize her moves, her steps, we detail her slightest tremors. The handheld camera seeks to be as close to her as possible, physically, mentally.
'Otto', the track composed by Woodkid, is continuously present, evolving over time as it describes the emotional arc of the character, drifting from one atmosphere to another, from one setting to the next... The piece offers a wide variety of rhythms and sounds. This broad musical gamut has been invaluable in underlining and clarifying and she light on the variety of emotions...
