Bashful spies on the eccentric inhabitants of an elevator on a journey to an alternative state of mind where suppressed emotions break free in a beastly dance. Themes of surveillance, intimacy, and repression frame this visual exploration of the romanticism behind London's urban soul. With its bleeding colors and nostalgic feel, the video serenades the tender sensuality of shyness.
Set in war torn Europe of the 1940s, ‘Dancing in the Ashes’ follows the story of Edina, a young Jewish ballerina who must battle against segregation and inhumanity when she is snatched from her home and sent to a Nazi death camp. After becoming separated from her mother, Edina must draw upon her passion for dance to help give her the strength to survive, as she is called upon to perform for the camp Comma ...
