Lucrezia Lante della Rovere
L’ape regina dei geni
After the success of Malamore, Flaiano Prize, Lucrezia Lante della Rovere continues to giving face and voice to extraordinary profiles of Women who built our culture. Again with the sensitive and careful direction of Francesco Zecca and an unpublished text commissioned from poet Vittorio Cielo on the fascinating personality of Misia Sert.
"I do not give birth. I DO give birth. Men need a sphinx, to give birth-to beauty. To become artists.
I give birth to them. I give birth to them, all of them!... They say my talent is being able to smell talent. Where everyone sees a dwarf, I see a Toulouse-Lautrec. If there's a chick to eyes down, against the wall, I smell Coco, in the sense that she will have for women, Chanel.
I am a genius seeker. A seeker of human wonders.
I hate playing music. Because I love music. I learned on old Liszt's knees, his face all warts like the bark of a tree, his long hair to wand, white as an icy willow, falling over me.
With my mauve eyes, I watched hour after hour, inevitably ... Pablo Ruiz transforming into the monster-Picasso. Debussy lying on my couches, dreaming of the sex of the faun. Cocteau courting actors as in Morocco. Stravinsky setting himself on fire in the Rite of Spring. Ravel embroidering music to spite Satie.
Diaghilev's executioner of dancers, Nijinsky's Tamer, drive that dance god mad.
And Proust, writing every thing, every word ... said from all. Up to put me in the second line, of the first page, of the Recherche.
The book that will never end, because Time... is infinite.
Like the genius that blazes in men.
Universities call it 'culture.' I called it: having them all to dinner from me, to home."
Loosely inspired by Misia Sert's memoirs, confidences, messages, letters, from Proust, Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Debussy, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Ravel, Cocteau... On Misia, the Queen of Paris.
