In the rehearsal footage, Gaga commands attention in a sleek black latex bodysuit paired with a flowing white cape, effortlessly executing intricate dance sequences alongside her ensemble. The video also features ballroom icon Honey Balenciaga, whose presence adds an electrifying energy to the performance.
Gaga emphasized the importance of this preparatory phase, stating: ''This is the video before the video! Watch I really wanted to share Parris Goebel and my process with you because to me this is how the magic is made. We set up each shot frame by frame. Using the choreography, performance, and the way it was shot to tell the story. And most of this video was shot by Parris herself!
We even rehearsed different wigs, makeup, and wardrobe to see how everything would move and what we needed to do to make the piece as impactful and clear as possible. Working with Parris, our combined teams, and these amazing dancers was a beautiful experience and we put our heart and soul into it!,'' she added. The “Abracadabra” video was directed by me, Parris Goebel, and Bethany Vargas.
