Film Documentaire
Delve into the heart of the creative process behind *Blue Lady*, as Carolyn Carlson—amid doubts, improvisations, and flashes of inspiration—gradually brings to life a major work of contemporary dance.
Venice, 1983: Carolyn Carlson gave the premiere performance of her new show, *Blue Lady*, on the stage of La Fenice, for which she served as both choreographer and director.
A week before the show’s final form was established, André S. Labarthe filmed the American dancer and captured moments of creative tension as the artist gradually brought her work to life—moments in which she rehearses, reflects, comments on her own work, hesitates, doubts, and improvises. Nine months after the premiere in Venice, Carolyn Carlson highlights the changes she has made to the choreography and set design.
After the screening, Karine Vayssettes, choreographer with the Eponyme company, will discuss the various stages of the process.
