SynopsisTraces the avant-garde artist, sculptor and set designer, Robert Wilson to his studio, looking at his creative processes and unconventional techniques., Absolute Wilson is the intimate portrait of an artistic genius who lives to defy the norm. It traces the unlikely career of the speech-impaired child, who became a movement therapist and embraced his disability in order to create a new form of theater. Told by the artist himself and the ones he touched, it examines Robert Wilson's methods of creating and working, from his inspiration to the choice of collaborators. It is also the very personal story of a boy who arrived in New York on a Greyhound Bus from Texas, to produce some of the most memorable theater experiences of the 20th and 21st centuries.
