“Sensationally smart, sexy and risk taking entertainment"
Donald Hutera, Dance Now, ‘Silent Movie’ 2004
   

Silent Movie 2004


Silent Movie takes a look at the glamorisation of violence in film and TV through the destructiveness of the femme fatale. The performers embody glamorous film characters from 40’s film noir with a twist where past is juxtaposed with present and public with private.
