Keyvan Nourian at Studio River in Paris: “We had the pleasure of manufacturing the promotional video for the Greek Nationwide Opera’s bold new manufacturing of Giuseppe Verdi’s comedian opera Falstaff.
“Working with carte blanche and pushed by the theme of sunshine, we wished to point out, in a really brief and poetic means, the atypical journey of this singular character. For a very long time poor and mocked, Falsatff was in a position to receive what he wished by dint of persistence.
“Initially, the character has nothing, only a soiled glass and an previous bottle of wine by which he finds consolation. However the extra time passes, the extra his social situation evolves, the dishonest that the cardboard recreation suggests, and the casualness that he reveals by means of the dance are the engines of his evolution.
“We tried to construct a sure type of aesthetics on this emotional and materials dysfunction. As a result of even when this man has nothing engaging at first sight, he all the time finally ends up enchanting the general public.”
“With time the bottle of wine lastly turns right into a cloud of bottles of the very best classic ones. And to conclude Falstaff lastly seduces the women of Windsor, will get married, and enjoys his wealth. He has lastly risen.
“The character is described as a creator of chaos, paunchy, and filled with flaws. So the thought on this film was to introduce the chaos by means of a ballet of bottles that spin and twirl round him, by means of a mess of components that frantically adapt to his dance steps.
“We tried to construct a sure type of aesthetics on this emotional and materials dysfunction. As a result of even when this man has nothing engaging at first sight, he all the time finally ends up enchanting the general public. Falstaff dances on the bar as a result of he’s drunk, he’s a bon vivant, and he laughs and leads us regardless of ourselves into the sunshine, a logo of a profitable quest.”
