| Summary |
SWANSONG Christopher Bruce's reputation as one of Britain's outstanding dancer/choreographers is based partly on his mix of classical and modern idioms and partly on his commitment to social conscious themes. Silence is the end of our song is a moving ballet danced to a series of songs from Chile and dedicated to the Chilean people and their sufferings. Using documentary film - seen as hazy memories - and the words of the songs by Violeta Parra and the poet and songwriter Victor Jara, who was assassinated by the "œjunta"#x9D; in 1973, the piece moves from light to darkness, from celebration to the need of courage in the face of political adversity or the threat of death. A touching, gentle and human statement |
