MASTERS : AN ENIGMA (L'ÉNIGME DES MAÎTRES)
Webserial
The PROJECT
Meet inspiring, benevolent personalities recognized as masters and/or pupils of masters, or personalities recognized in their artistic field, women and men who pass on their art with passion, who share their know-how, their savoir-être, their savoir-vivre.
The idea was born in 2014 with, as a starting point, questions:
-
What characterizes a master, and what are his or her secrets for inspiring so many students?
-
At a time when we are predicting a world where knowledge will no longer be necessary, what can motivate someone to devote their life to learning or teaching an art?
-
At a time when everything is speeding up, what if taking the time to discover an art, to discover oneself, to create links, was one of the keys to positive evolution in our world?
These are questions you may also be asking yourself...
So we decided to share these encounters through interviews and films. Beyond transmitting the technique of their art, the idea was to understand their personal journey, the highlights of their lives, their choices, their way of integrating emotions into their art, their spirituality or philosophy and the various influences on their singular path.
To inspire yourself, follow your dreams and develop your inner depth...
So we set off to Portugal, Belgium, the USA and France, to meet the students and friends of the master of the equestrian arts, the great Portuguese squire Nuno OLIVEIRA... They told us untold stories about their doubts, flaws and character traits from childhood, all of which taught us a great deal about the personality of this extraordinary master, who advocated Love and Respect for horses more than any other method.
We decided to take this project a step further and extend it to music, dance, drawing, sculpture... by organizing meetings between artists, to get them talking, sharing their experience, their vision and highlighting the parallels between the arts and life paths.
American choreographer Carolyn Carlson, Maxime Le Forestier, painter and sculptor Jean-Louis SAUVAT and harpsichordist Stéphane BÉCHY have all been part of this adventure.

It's a real journey, a path of initiation that we'd like to share with you by going even further, to meet other inspiring personalities, to seek out the keys to raising our personal and collective level of consciousness, a sine qua non condition for developing our humanity and overcoming the great challenges facing mankind (economic, ecological, societal).

BROADCAST
Many encounters have already been filmed.
The first 2 episodes were released in 2020, self-financed by 3V PROD, and broadcast free of charge on the 3V PROD Youtube channel during the first period of confinement... a way of participating in the collective effort to support this very special period for each and every one of us.
And these episodes found their audience: You.
We discover Master Oliveira's pupils and close friends (his daughter Pureza and her pupil and friend the late Dr. Suzanne Laurenty) and pupils of other masters in the equestrian and other arts (painter and sculptor Jean-Louis Sauvat, harpsichordist Stéphane Béchy). The exhibition also features previously unseen films and images of Master Oliveira.
The EPISODES will be broadcast free of charge on Youtube, with subtitles in French (for the hearing-impaired) and English. The idea is to share this quest, this path of initiation, with as many people as possible. A desire to transmit...
The LYNK-YOU platform is broadcasting them as a priority, with the addition of bonuses made from unused but fascinating rushes: INTERVIEWS from L'ÉNIGME DES MAÎTRES.
Each episode lasts an average of 15 minutes. The editing is more or less lengthy, depending on the documentation, but high quality is sought out out of respect for the benevolent personalities we meet, and to convey their precious values... and emotions.
