Songs and Dances of the Inanimate World: The Subway

Original title: Chants et danses du monde inanimé - Le métro
Duration: 14 min
Release date: 1984-01-01
IMDB

In this animation film without words, filmmaker Pierre Hébert and musicians Robert Lepage and René Lussier worked together, and separately, in their respective media. This cinema/music performance recreates, impressionistically, the dehumanizing environment of the urban subway. Drawings etch the outlines of people hurtling through space in underground tunnels. The sound track, elemental and atonal, gives compelling expression to their alienation.
