Join Oscar-nominated Montreal filmmaker Marie-Hélène Panisset on this spellbinding performance by Montreal multi-instrumentalist and composer Charles Papasoff. With his saxophone and surrounded by other talented artists, including the Grands Ballets Canadiens’ Vanessa Garcia Ribala-Montoya, Papasoff slams seven sonnets that William Shakespeare wrote over 400 years ago. Addressing themes such as love, beauty, mortality, infidelity, jealousy, and the passage of time, the film asks, have humans really changed since Shakespearean times?
