The short film Dancing Plague is the new work of a long collaboration of more than thirteen years between Diego Agulló and Jorge Ruiz Abánades . Based on three images of Peter Brueghel the Elder, and taking as a handwritten texts that recount the phenomenon of multitudes known as ”dancing mania” or “Dance of San Vito”. This film delves into the theme of the dance and its close affinity with the uncontrollable forces of chaos immediate ability to interrupt work time, enabling another exceptional time of the bizarre, the jovial and festive but also of social disorder and catastrophe
BASED on Pieter Bruegel the Elder´s paintings:
The Tower of Babel (c. 1563)
The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (c. 1559)
The Triumph of Death (c. 1562)
Intriguing work. Have you seen the one they are making with Van Gogh’s paintings? Cool ideas
Ohh yes the one that is like you are going in to room from the painting!!
Amazing!!!
Kinda creepy. I believe St. Vitus dance is what we now call Parkinson’s disease. Jerky Walking Dead!!
