Mirrors and Candlelight

Director Jean-Luc Goddard said: Art is not a reflection of reality; it is the reality of a reflection.  Mirrors and Candlelight explores reflections in literature, contemporary music, and dance. Literature from the past evokes memories, reverberations beyond death. Dance and music act as two sides of the mirror, asking: which is reflecting which?
