Introduced by Peter Schaufuss dancer, Artistic Director of London Festival Ballet, and star of the recent BBCtv Dancer series.
Silence is the End of Our Song A ballet danced to a series of songs from Chile, and dedicated to the people of that country and their sufferings. Using documentary film - seen as hazy memories - and the words of the songs as well, it moves from light into darkness, from celebration to the need for courage in the face of political adversity or the threat of death. But it remains a gentle, personal and human statement.
This ballet was specially created for Danish television by British choreographer
CHRISTOPHER BRUCE , one-time associate artistic director of Ballet Rambert and well known to television viewers for his performances and televised ballets and his Cruel Garden, which won the BBC the Prix Italia Music Prize in 1982. Produced and directed by THOMAS GRIMM Series titles
