“Poets shed not only the red blood of their hearts but the white blood of their souls,” proclaimed Jean Cocteau of his groundbreaking first film—an exploration of the plight of the artist, the power of metaphor and the relationship between art and dreams. With choreography and dance by Tristian Griffin, art by Justin Canja, music by Alex Kimball Williams and video projections by Peter Jasso, this multidisciplinary piece brings this 1930 film off the screen and into the realm of live experience for a one night only presentation.
