I have drawn the entire film of the opera frame by frame. There are at least 500 drawings transformed into 500 short films that I will present to the tempo of conductor Paul Daniel. Moreover, we have tried to draw the characters according to the cast that will be present in the Enescu Festival. Illustrator Gabi Skinder has made tremendous work, and Julien Javions is the one who transformed the drawings into a film.
I grew up by the Danube, among fishermen. A mix of Romanians and Serbians. I, a child, they, people of the water. The houses in Gornea village are terraced. We were sharing a wall with the village pub. I remember the publican’s big dogs, the two ‘loose’ girls across the street, the killing of a young man and many more things that I can’t tell, but that are part of my biography and of Peter Grimes.
