SUBWAYS: 5 variations on a theme by Rilke | 11:30 | 2006 | Canada
Director: Daniel Conrad | Choreographer: Crystal PIte
Filmed in the vast, exquisite subways of Prague and choreographed by Crystal Pite, Subways is based on a poem by Rilke about a caged panther at the Jardin des plantes in Paris. With performances by Canadian and Czech dancers, the film conjures a world of humans trapped underground, organizing and reorganizing in response to captivity.
