Director

Danse Macabre is a 8min30 short film directed by Pedro Pires from a concept of Robert Lepage and an original idea of AnneBruce Falconer.

For a period of time, while we believe it to be perfectly still, lifeless flesh responds, stirs and contorts in a final macabre ballet.

Are these spasms merely erratic motions or do they echo the chaotic twists and turns of a past life?
