This will be disturbing to lot of folks as we are not comfortable with our own death

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?

The co-director of the upcoming TRIPTYQUE, Pedro Pires ushers in his cinematic collaboration with the legendary Robert Lepage with the short film DANSE MACABRE. Thus began a formidable adventure throughout over a hundred festivals and more than 40 prizes, including Best Canadian Short at TIFF, the Grand Prix National at Regard sur le court métrage au Saguenay as well as the doublé : both the Jutra and Genie for Best Short Film, in the same year.

Lots of you do not know then before becoming Mr. Spices and sea salt in Vancouver 22 years ago, I did my university studies in Arts with a major in Contemporary dance  at L Universite du Quebec a Montreal this will explain my fascination with arts of all sort. Art is another way to make a distance between animal and human another way to create a culture of who we are in time

I really like this disturbing short film and this is why I posted it on my blog

Attention not for everyones this talk about death and show powerful images who will stay with you for life, Oh ya for the sensitive one here a warning,  there is nudity, violent scenes (suicide) ... you know ! but a surprising beauty in the choice of images, lighting, the choreography is very interesting 

hope you will like it
