On his official website, Cumming explains that Jean Genet'sElle "is about image, identity and celebrity and takes place in the Vatican where a young photographer has come to photograph the Pope, to create his image for the world to view. But, when the Pope arrives, he tells the photographer he is not that image, that he does not in fact exist." Cumming portays the Pope with Spinella as the Usher.
