Este Silencio

Knowing a desert beneath every city – I dance this silence

Short film with modern dance about the contrasting forces between sound and silence and the human search for an inner voice, an inner silence. The theme is shaped into a dance by two female dancers. Shot on urban locations in Rotterdam and a surrealistic landscape in the Egyptian desert.

The music, specially composed for this dance, is performed by four pianos and a computer.
