Maldoror

Mysterious and untamed, the work of Comte de Lautréamont emerges as the revolt of a young man at his piano in a 19th-century Paris hotel room. From this image, Benjamin Lazar sets out, through words and music, to rediscover Maldoror and re-enchant Les Chants de Maldoror. Alone, shifting between identities—Ducasse, Lautréamont, Maldoror—he gives form to a dark, visionary world whose echoes shaped 20th-century art.
