Dark History
The dance of death
Strasbourg, 1518. A summer of famine and fear. It starts with one woman, then there are hundreds. A feverish movement infects the city, an unstoppable dance that lasts for entire weeks. They dance until exhaustion, until death, with empty stares and bleeding feet. An inexplicable epidemic or the collective trauma of a people? Perhaps only a desperate cry that the body transforms into movement, an anguish so profound it has no words. The enigma of that deadly dance remains an echo of footsteps in history, an unsettling whisper of what happens when the mind surrenders and the body will not stop.
