MYSTICALLY/SPIRITUALLY
The man with lighting in his hand
Creates energy out of nothing
Master of thunder
Kills darkness bringing light
Died alone feeding pigeons
Liked to meet people involved in occult practice
Some parts of his life are still a mystery
There is no known film footage of Tesla

Project TESLA
Director, scenography, light design: Robert Wilson (USA) Music and sounds: TBA
Story: Vladimir Stojsavljevi (Croatia) / Choreography: Emil Matei (Croatia)
All other creative and production credits are TBD among Robert Wilson, CPA and Serafini in purpose of mutual benefit of production
ABOUT PRODUCTION
Soastoundingarethefactsinthisconnection,thatitwouldseemasthoughtheCreator,himselfhadelectricallydesignedthisplanet...
Tesla,1905
TESLA could be a regional (Southeast Europe ex Yugoslavia) co-productions with international partners and reach.
Because of Tesla's origin (ethnical Serb from Croatia) he is well accepted as a symbol of peacemaking and cohabitation among Serbs and
Croats, two largest nations on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia, and also the nations that ignited the last war on European soil.
Tesla also had enormous influence and importance for the rest of the World. Based on that, project Tesla could have international appeal and
reach.
For that purpose we propose to iconic avant-garde director Robert Wilson (USA) and influential music authors and important social
figure (TBA) to artistically lead the project inspired with Tesla's life and work. For story/scenario and choreography we are proposing Croatian
writer (Vladimir Stojislavljevic) and choreographer (Emil Matesic).
Form of project, opera or theatre performance, is up open for discussion with CPA and Mr. Wilson. In case that project Tesla became theatre
piece, leading role could be given to Hollywood or European actors with art allure - James Franco/Vincent Cassel, or some other affordable
actor well know in the region of ex-Yugoslavia and the rest of the World.
Robert Wilson personally knows both of Croatian members of creative team and agreed to work and develops project with them!
