Again ….
Serbian artist Marina Abramovic was known for her performances, during which she did not hesitate to hurt her own body, sometimes to the brink of death. This time, however, she will have to survive since she plans to shoot next summer, in Greece, a film entitled Seven Dead, following seven sequences of ten minutes each in which she will become Maria Callas interpreting the death of seven operatic heroines , including Carmen, Tosca, Butterfly, Medea and Violetta. The different "sketches" will be shot by different directors, including some prestigious names like Roman Polanski and Alejandro González Iñárritu. Also asked, Lars von Trier has declined because it can not be released at the desired dates. A documentary evoking the life and death of Callas should accompany the work in question. Marina Abramovic says she's crazy about the soprano; let us hope that this madness will carry her to the same artistic heights as the object of her adoration.

One of them Butterfly, from Madama Butterfly
Act 3
Suzuki wakes up in the morning and Butterfly finally falls asleep. Sharpless and Pinkerton arrive at the house, along with Pinkerton's new American wife, Kate. They have come because Kate has agreed to raise the child. But, as Pinkerton sees how Butterfly has decorated the house for his return, he realizes he has made a huge mistake. He admits that he is a coward and cannot face her, leaving Suzuki, Sharpless and Kate to break the news to Butterfly. Agreeing to give up her child if Pinkerton comes himself to see her, she then prays to statues of her ancestral gods, says goodbye to her son, and blindfolds him. She places a small American flag in his hands and goes behind a screen, cutting her throat with her father's hara-kiri knife. Pinkerton rushes in, but he is too late, and Butterfly dies.
