UBU ÉTUDE

“… stark modern dance…”
Ubu Étude experiments with the forms of dance and puppetry using colour, light and music.

The film angles in on two dancers who are joined together by elastic bands resembling marionettes caught in their own strings. The tension created by their movements provides the dynamic of the film highlighted by quick cut editing, lighting effects and a mysterious electronic music score.
