Bob Wilson's Life and Death of Marina Abramovic. This documentary portrays a meeting of the director Robert Wilson, with the performance artist Marina Abramovic, the singer Antony Hegarty and the actor Willem Dafoe, during which the idea to develop a play on the life of Marina Abramovic was born. The result is a sublime mix of artists, musicians and actors that depicts - from vaudeville to balkan electronic music - the intense personality of the 'grandmother of performance art'.

Marina Abramovic said: "I learnt a lot from Bob Wilson, especially how important silence is beyond words. Nobody makes anything out of happiness, whereas sickness, hell, tragic moments determine changes in life".
