CODA(en)
This short animation draws on advanced digital technologies to offer a new vision of dance in cinema.

Addressing environmental themes by way of metaphor, CODA is a fused universe where space and time collide, deploy, and dissolve. In this technically and formally innovative film, luminous bodies in the infinite space of the cosmos transform and evolve to the rhythms of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.

There, too, the main character was a mad scientist, and the events unfolded in distorted scenery that emphasized the state of insanity.
