Denis Lavant Is Still Acting for the Beauty of the Gesture
"Denis Lavant, one of France's most instantly recognisable performers, might just as easily have been an acrobat, a mime or a magician. He trained in the first two before joining the Paris Conservatoire to study performance."
"Lavant is back with a major new role in John Skoog's quietly riveting rural drama Redoubt, based on the life of Swedish farmhand Karl-Goran Persson, who turned his home into a fortress during the cold war."
"For him it was useful, it was something that was intended to help people, but you could also say he was an artist. He just didn't think of it that way."
Denis Lavant, a renowned French performer, has had a diverse career that includes acrobatics and mime. He is known for his eccentric presence and unique performances. Lavant's latest role is in John Skoog's film Redoubt, which tells the story of Karl-Goran Persson, a Swedish farmhand who created a fortress during the Cold War. Lavant sees parallels between his character and his own experiences, viewing Persson's work as a form of outsider art intended to help others.
