This short movie follows an imaginary day in the life of experimental musician Mazen Kerbaj. In more than 15 apparitions, Kerbaj delves in activities as varied as sleeping, talking, praying, playing, or fighting, sometimes alone and sometimes with himself. The result is an accurate yet amusing self-portrait, exploring both the unique music practice of the artist and his humoristic approach to megalomania.
The short trailer and the film about the making of the commission will be available here as part of the Counterflows Archive, as will his interview with himself and other various content from the project.
Content Warning: This film contains some adult content
The movie in 8 chapters with Marzen Kerbaj as all the characters. An exploration of music and art delicately poised between a life and a version of life through music. The musical will now be available upon request by contacting infokerbaj@gmail.com
