PEDRO PIRES

Danse Macabre

Pedro Pires has most notably worked with Francois Girard in the films The Red Violin, as well as The Sound Of The Carceri for which he won Emmy and Gemini awards for "Outstanding Visual Effects "and" Best Visual Effects". He also worked in close collaboration with Robert Lepage on the visual conception of Possible Worlds.

For a period of time, while we believe it to be perfectly still,
lifeless flesh responds, stirs and contorts in a final macabre ballet.
Are these spasms merely erratic motions
or do they echo the chaotic twists and turns of a past life?
