Haley Bennett Instagram – Cyrano Anniversary
It doesn’t feel real. It was surreal. It also felt like a heist, somehow, against all odds, we pulled it off.
I still can’t believe that Joe and I got to do this, that we miraculously made it happen at a time when people needed to create more than ever. And the pride we felt in enabling us all to do so, to pour ourselves into something meaningful and joyous, at this time, is indescribable.
Filming Cyrano was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. Surrounded by dear friends Pete; Kelvin, Joe, Seamus, Danny, Kate, Guy, Jo, Jacqueline, Sarah and Katie, Sidi, Bryce, Aaron, Sian, so so many more, in a world of enchantment, Italy f music, movement, and storytelling. The incredible Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui choreographed breathtaking moments that felt like poetry in motion, while The National’s music gave soul to every scene.
Beyond the actors, the dancers infused moment with passion and artistry, bringing so much life to each scene. Sarah Wright’s work on the puppetry, Knee high lot, Mike; alongside Joe’s mom, Lyndie’s, beautiful creations, added a whole other layer of magic to this world, it was pure artistry on every level, unlike anything I had ever seen.
And the craftsmanship, Jacqueline Durran and Massimo Cantini Parrini’s stunning costumes, Seamus McGarvey’s breathtaking cinematography, Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer set, and the dedication of every single department—made this world come alive in ways I could never have imagined.
To experience all of this with Virginia by my side was the greatest gift.
I will never forget what it felt like to be Roxane, to sing, to dance, to use every part of myself in this story. Didn’t know how rare and special this one was, or maybe I did but looking back my heart is so full.
