Embodying Pasolini

A performance imagined as a developing exhibit, an invitation to an artist’s atelier, where the action takes shape around the outfit: the alter ego, partner, and opposite of the body wearing it.

Thus Olivier Saillard, acknowledged fashion historian, former director of the Galliera Museum in Paris, poet, and writer, and Tilda Swinton, an icon of international cinema, awarded the Gold Lion for lifetime achievement in 2020, conceived Embodying Pasolini.

Embodying Pasolini will be presented in Paris at the Palais de Tokyo from December 7th through 12th for 10 performances for the Festival d’Automne.

The performance will be accompanied by the launch of the book Embodying Pasolini, published by Rizzoli.
