Silence Is The End Of Our Song

Christopher Bruce's moving ballet is danced to Chilean folk songs, including several by Violetta Para and the poet/song-writer Victor Jara, who was assassinated by the junta that overthrew Allende's government in 1973. Dedicated to the Chilean people, the work shows the tension and sorrow of a country in turmoil. Contrasting light and darkness, it embraces celebration and evokes the courage needed to confront political adversity and the threat of death. This performance was recorded in studio.
