Seekers. Meetings with Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, the Dalai Lama and other creators of beauty

The famous drummer of The Doors, John Densmore, uses his privileged access to fellow artists and performers to explore the very roots of creativity.

The sounds of music are what connect these extraordinary people. Together with John Densmore you: • will see unforgettable performances of Janis Joplin on stage - as if each time the soul of a primitive African woman was embodied in her; • will learn how Jim Morrison's songs were born, who did not know a single chord on any instrument; • will attend concerts of rock and jazz stars, learn about the backstage life of celebrities and understand why the silence that follows between songs is so important.
