France / 127'’ / Color / status : completed / French, English
In 2007, French actress Juliette Binoche and British dancer-choreographer Akram Khan stepped away from their established careers to embark on a bold artistic experiment. Over seven months, they co-created In-I, an intense, boundary-pushing performance they would go on to stage 100 times around the world.
Today, Juliette Binoche returns to that intimate journey. From the first spark of inspiration to the final applause, she retraces the emotional and creative arc of a singular collaboration. Drawing on dozens of hours of previously unseen footage, she reflects, as a filmmaker, on the nature of artistic creation, the vulnerability and exhilaration of taking risks, and the personal transformation they demand.

«Affords viewers raw access to the creation process, and the rare fascination of watching two leading artists at times out of their depth, figuring out new dimensions to their craft on the hoof, so to speak. Nearly two decades on from the origins of the “In-I” project, this filmic translation feels like a kind of homecoming.»
