1997, Canada, 28′
Atelier Peter Mettler

In Bali, the director observes with inspiration, in black and white, and in colour, dance rehearsals with sophisticated codes, puppet theatre shows bathed in legends, and tourists bedecked with cameras. With a backdrop of weathered stone sculptures and rice crops, time pulsates to the rhythm of the gamelan music and the uniquely associated images.
