The subject of this film is Julien Blaine. He is a “performer” poet, he writes, he screams, he acts, he performs, he gesticulates, he dances…His play is like a poem. He exposes himself to the public throughout his texts and his research.
He has been doing that since 1962 and today he is 62 years old.
This film is an encounter with two of his emblematic performances: “the fall on the stairs at Saint Charles Station” and his first play, “the elephants’ interview”.
This film is the interpretation of his creation, of his actions by his daughter, who is filmmaker. It is the way she sees his art; in this film she confronts the past and the present where she invites the spectator to interpret, to feel, to create sense.
