Synopsis
7 Deaths of Maria Callas is a continuation of Marina Abramovic’s lifelong meditation on the female body as a source of both power and pain. Here Abramovic turns her focus to renowned opera singer Maria Callas, whose stunning soprano voice captivated audiences around the world in the mid-20th century as her life was beset by struggle and scandal. Through a mix of narrative opera and film, Abramovic recreates seven iconic death scenes from the American-born Greek singer’s most important roles – in La Traviata, Tosca, Otello, Madame Butterfly, Carmen, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Norma – followed by an interpretive recreation of Callas’ own death performed onstage by Abramovic herself.
