Starting an autobiography with your own funeral is a strange idea, especially of you are still alive. “It’s the only way to attend. Only you can do it,” pled artist Marina Abramovic when she asked Bob Wilson to transform her life story into a performance, creating a tale of one of the most original contemporary artistic performers told by one of the most visionary authors of avant-garde theatre. Add to these two great personalities the disruptive talent of Willem Dafoe and the aching music of Antony Hegarty, and you are left with a show impossible not to record.

Giada Colagrande was the one to take up the challenge with her documentary Bob Wilson's Life and Death of Marina Abramovic, presented as a special event during Venice Days 2012.
