The Ballet of the Nations

This film delves into a darkly humorous take on the themes of war and societal complacency. It begins with a conversation between Satan and Ballet Master Death, who plan to introduce chaos by assembling an orchestra of human emotions such as Fear, Panic, and Heroism.

Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the tunnels beneath Bristol Temple Meads, the film showcases a corps de ballet of Nations performing a dance macabre. The narrative culminates in a powerful final act titled Revenge, where the core Nations are joined by others, highlighting the collective impact of these themes.

In addition to the main performances, the film features danced sections by a Chorus, reminiscent of the choric elements found in classical Greek tragedy, further enriching its dramatic structure. This unique blend of dance and narrative offers a distinctive viewing experience.
