A JOURNEY WITH PETER SELLARS

Documentary film maker Mark Kidel has spent two years filming Peter Sellars in rehearsal, teaching, talking about his life and work, with particular focus on the wide range of events he curated for the New Crowned Hope Festival in Vienna (2006). The film also reflects on the recurring themes in Peter’s work, from his adolescent fascination with puppetry and avant-garde theatre and his explosive emergence as super-talented ‘enfant terrible’, to his more recent mature work which combines in a unique way politics, poetry and spirituality. This is the first in-depth portrait of one of the world’s most original creative artists.
