Chopin -  A letter through the Parisian Years (Film)

The first project of Intertwining Arts is a research/performance piece about the Paris years of the composer Frédéric Chopin.  This unique event combines at least three art genres: the solo piano performance of Chopin’s music, theatrical readings of his letters and poems by Polish poets of his time, and photographs / short video clips of his Parisian life including his pianos, manuscripts, personal belongings, portraits, routes, and more.  The Project team consists of Elina Akselrud, piano/photography; Nathanaël Bez, theatrical readings; Iryna Kyshliaruk, soprano; Eduard Akselrud, production, and Dilectiss Liu, philosophy/consulting.

The highlight idea of the work: human being, an artist, needs to create in order to live; and Chopin was one of the best examples of this lifestyle.  Each time a new creation is made, it leaves the creator and inhabits the souls of others. Thereafter it lives in the hearts of the audiences, ever-growing and ever-inspiring. No matter, how hard the obstacles, one MUST create and, therefore, bloom eternally. And thus, the creation of an artwork is the most beautiful occurrence in the Universe, making it better with each moment.  The two other very important factors we want to emphasize in our work is Chopin’s complex personality that is not always perceived by the performers or the audience; and the remembrance of the past and its spirit by humanity, which is a crucial subject for the people of the 21st Century.

This work was developed, finished, and successfully premiered at the Grand Salon of the des États-Unis in Paris on April 1, 2016. We are incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to perform in this wonderful venue, as well as in Switzerland, and Germany! 

The cinematic version of the project was released on May 15, 2018 at the Hôtel Chopin Grands-Boulevards Paris, France.

The Intertwining Arts team is eternally grateful to everyone who has helped with the creation and production of this project in any possible way.
