Another experience of the dreams of Mary Queen of Scots, with the majestic presence of Isabelle Huppert, and the vision of Robert Wilson.
In the forest of recollections from the past, before the icy grave of the future, she shall never forget that she is queen. She, Mary Queen of Scots, and she, Isabelle Huppert, an icon on stage directed by Robert Wilson, an emblem, a living incarnation.
Walking the tightrope of the art of counterpoint, she defies the empty space, in the glimmer of dawn or shadowy night, set like a jewel in vast musical landscapes, in a corset-boned gown, through an interplay of rhythms, lines and intonations, she brings life to the classical drama where the contenders are Love, Power and Death, or France, Scotland and England.
