Marina Abramović, 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, 2019

Be sure to secure your copy of the new issue of Elephant, starring the inimitable Marina Abramović on one of our two covers. Inside, the performance art icon talks to Emily Steer about filmmaking, rubbish bins, and her travelling live opera, 7 Deaths of Maria Callas—the backdrop for which is an hour-long film featuring actor Willem Dafoe. “I always hated the theatre,” Abramović tells Steer. “It felt so fake. Working with Willem was the first time I understood how the actor becomes the role. He is such a great teacher for me. I’m not best at acting but at least I’m not faking.” Pre-order the issue at Elephant Kiosk now to read on.
