Mirror (1975) Zerkalo - Andrei Tarkovsky
“They tell us that your mighty powers above
Make perfect your joys and your blessings by love.
Ah! Why do you suffer the blessing that’s there
To give a poor lover such sad torments here?
Yet though for my passion such grief I endure,
My love shall like yours still be constant and pure.”
Henry Purcell - The Indian Queen
Soprano - Catherine Bott

Carmen de Lavallade as Titania
She took on acting roles as well, including one legendary performance as Titania in Alvin Epstein’s revelatory vision of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Yale Rep. Carmen was also assigned choreographer duties, getting the fairies to move as forest creatures, toads, beetles, butterflies... Jack Kroll’s review in Newsweek explains it all: “The fusion of Shakespeare’s language and Purcell’s music is pure enchantment, intensified by the decisive contribution of Carmen de Lavallade as choreographer, dancer and the play’s Titania. It would take Shakespeare himself to describe Miss de Lavallade, whose supernal beauty embodies not only the physical but what I will splutteringly call the moral power of her presence. With Epstein she has devised witty behavioral music for the different levels of character.”

J'entrais dans l'espace des saisons, ce seuil d'un invisible cycle,
le chant qu'il faut suivre, l'oraison qui se signale enfin.
J'entrais dans le bel âge, celui que l'on reçoit au plus intime de soi
cette empreinte devant nous comme une lumière de l'intérieur.
