Synopsis

Cinematic version of the dance piece ‘Midnight's Laughter’. 2003

Concept Outline

In the end all you have is a bunch of memories,
 your sack of flesh, and the rest is nothing.

Along a moldy corridor, two old men at the end of their days
creep across the floor as their histories dissipate behind them.

Bound and gagged with fairy lights, a stillborn soul awakens. Torch-lit musicians bellow out ‘old school’ sounds, and together we waltz toward the dawn.

SCREENINGS
