Heaven or Montreal : The Unfinished Video
Does absence leave a mark? Is silence heard? Reflecting on the premature death of a young dancer and artist, Heaven or Montreal points to unfinished ideas, creating "outlines" of lost energy and imagination. As a finale, it summons all its desperation and asks for silence to speak and stillness to dance. Ian Middleton, its co-author, died in 1993 of AIDS-related causes.
