MusArt 2021―Le Sentier (The Path), a film for this year’s fundraising event
This pandemic has imposed silence upon us, projecting our reflection in the mirror; a challenge for which we were not ready...
Through a short film, MusArt 3, 2021, takes us this year on "Le Sentier" of the language of the heart, our intuition: a sacred zone from which an analytical mind often turns away. This cinematographic work has a dreamlike quality, featuring the three disciplines we represent at Studios DAR Sutton, an operatic fresco where humans find themselves at the heart of nature.
Synopsis
A woman, a fallen aristocrat whose sensibility is similar to that of the great mystics, wanders in the heart of a forest seeking the path to her soul, hanging her wish papers on the trees. She seems to come from another time, but no one can pretend to solve this enigma...
She claims to be a painter, but from her memories are drawn empty picture frames.
On the path of her rites, she begins a dialogue with the clear song of the wind, the great master of whispers who keeps his origin secret. She confides in it that she is in search of the dictation of her brushes, this invisible poem that has so often pierced her heart with its absence.
"You, my brother the wind, deposit in my heart the breath of ephemeral beauties, I will share them..."
She will then invite this brother to guide her soul towards this place where creation has no law.
Studios DAR Sutton is a place of creation where the latter rises in complete freedom. Creating becomes a state of being which cannot be altered, a "flow" that is unique and precious, and protected by the artist.
Creation cannot be altered in its essence, the challenge is to materialize it in order to share the story.
During this most challenging "Covidian" period, we realized how much art is part of our lives! Artists from all walks of life have generously shared their creations to keep us in balance. Imagine for a second the opposite!
This short film will be the signature of MusArt 3, 2021 from Studios DAR Sutton. Come and encourage balance and creation, the dialogue between Nature and Art that is one and the same and of which we are a part.
Creativity is a trickle of water that carries a powerful voice!
