You Can

Details of a room counteract with slow pans across trees, duckweed and brushwood, describing the mood of a moment like a string of haikus. The opening movement of Bach's Goldberg Variations forms the frame of this 'associative editing' piece which references the still-life paintings of Dutch artists Pieter Claesz and Lara de Moor.

You Will Never Ever Be a Woman. You Must Live the Rest of Your Days Entirely as a Man, and You Will Only Grow More Masculine with Each Passing Year. There Is No Way Out.

Documentary

Yvette Chauvire: France's Prima Ballerina Assoluta

Documentary includes rare performance footage of Chauvir in scenes from L' cuyere, Le P ri, Giselle (with Nureyev), and the Dying Swan, as well as Chauvir in coaching sessions. In this absording tribute to Chauvire, filmmaker Dominique Delouche captures her detailed coaching sessions with stars of the Paris Opera Ballet. Classical perfection was the hallmark of Chauvire's dancing, with a strong emphasis on body and shoulder placement (EPAULEMENT), and this is everywhere evident in her work with her younger colleagues, elevating their performances both artistically and stylistically.

Zaide

Zaide, the unfinished opera by Mozart, in a production directed by Peter Sellars which was the focus of controversy at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2008. Composed in 1780, two years before The Abduction from the Seraglio, Zaide contains melodies of incredible inventiveness. The opera lacks an overture, a finale and many spoken dialogues, yet the missing elements allowed Sellars to elaborate and transform the work into a grand manifesto against slavery. Sellars' vision provoked a scandal, as it had previously in Vienna and London, but the Cour de l'Archevêché has experienced plenty of scandals.
