Lady GaGa - MOCA Speechless Performance Clip Mini Film

Francesco Vezzoli’s black-tie-soiree-as-performance-art, “Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again),” featuring Lady Gaga and Prada-clad dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet, was undoubtedly one of the highlight’s on last year’s contemporary-art calendar. If you missed the spectacle of spectacles, created for MOCA’s 30th anniversary gala, the Swedish filmmaker Jonas Akerlund captures the extraordinary night in this exclusive new video, “Ballets Russes, Italian Style — Coming Soon.”`“It made sense, given Francesco’s taste for art , which has made use of fake movie posters and fake perfume campaigns,” says Akerlund of the video’s cryptic title. “I thought it would be really cool to create a trailer of sorts for something that has already happened and will never happen again.” Akerlund, who has also directed Gaga’s “Paparazzi” video and the coming one for “Telephone,” captures all of the front-of-house and backstage dramedy from the night, which culminated with everyone’s favorite media monster performing her new song, “Speechless,” on a rotating pink grand piano painted with blue butterflies by Damien Hirst. Enjoy.
