Farewell (2018)

Choreography & dance: Silvia Verges

Cinematography & Editing: Laura Salazar

Music: Caleb Fawcett, A Drunken Blush

            Jean Sibelius, Bagatelles 1 & 4, Op. 34 

​

Farewell is a short film that tells about the  endless hours of a dancer's practice and repetition. At the end it might be all summed in evanescent stage moments.

o

With the use of extrem close ups and open shots the film searches out to portray the work on detail and nuances of a dance as well as to evoke the remoteness of memories and the expectancy of what's to come.
