Antony and the Johnsons - Cut the World

This video may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

Willem Dafoe, Marina Abramović, and Carice van Houten star in this quiet, violent clip.

The title track from Antony’s new, live and symphonic release Cut The World is a previously unreleased track coming from the stage show The Life and Death of Marina Abramović. Fittingly, the famed performance artist brings her iconic mug to this stark, chilling, short filmic Nabil-directed clip’s conclusion, but not before Carice Van Houten (of Game Of Thrones) and Willem Dafoe (of Game Of Cheekbones) work their way through a little secretary/boss disagreement. That is, Willem’s character seems to feel he is entitled to keep living, while Carice takes the opposite position. It’s a literal take on the title, and comes with a “viewer discretion is advised” tag.
