Écho ()

A lone ballerina dances with her reflection in Écho, a film directed by world-renowned choreographer Édouard Lock. Interpreted by the principal dancer of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Rachele Buriassi, this intimate solo piece was inspired by feelings of solitude experienced in lockdown. It begins with a ballerina in the familiar surroundings of a theatre, but the camera soon closes in on the figure and renders it almost abstract, disrupting one’s sense of time and space. An evocative score by James O’Callaghan enters into dialogue with Buriassi’s movements as she slips in and out of shadow and light, illusion and reality.
