WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Performance artist John Kelly performs the first part of his theatrical meditation on French film classic Children of Paradise. In The Paradise Project, Kelly delves into a nameless man's obsession with the mime Baptiste, the character's unrequited love for the elusive Garance, and the gnawing theme of life versus art.
