description
First musical “video poème” by de La Casinière in which painting, literature and music are synchronically arranged, according to the rhythm of a deliberate composition.

Through a multi-layered combination of theatre, operetta, word and visual sequences de La Casinière renders the account of “the life of a saint”, Hallaj al Mansour, a mystic and martyr from Islam in the 10th century.

The video was restored in 1989.
