Ballet from Europe: 3: Revolt

on BBC Two England

A series of five widely differing ballets.

Birgit Cullberg's latest ballet for Swedish Television uses electronic techniques which seem to project the choreography into the drawings of imaginary prisons by the 18th-century Italian artist Piranesi. She describes the theme as a struggle for freedom. The music is Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste.
The series comes from the Royal College of Art, London, where Professor Stuart Hood and students talk to Birgit Cullberg and Mans Reutersward.
