SONGS AND DANCES OF THE INANIMATE WORLD: THE SUBWAY

Chants et danses du monde inanimé - Le métro

Directed by Pierre Hébert
Canada, 1985
Avant-Garde, Animation, Short

Synopsis

This cinema/music performance recreates, impressionistically, the dehumanizing environment of the urban subway. Drawings etch the outlines of people hurtling through space in underground tunnels. The soundtrack, elemental and atonal, gives compelling expression to their alienation.
