Summary
Entrant in the Dance on Camera Festival 2002. Brief synopsis [from slipcase]: "'Agony & ecstasy' commences with the artist who is dying, along with his creation which is represented by 5 dancers. But then a muse appears. Everybody is resuscitated. The creator is able to give shape from a castanet concert to floating feet to Paganini's Perpetual Movement. His newly acquired inspiration allows him to create an odyssey from the most modern, classical to the most earthy percussive movement in Spanish dance. His only goal is not to lose his muse, as he immediately starts dying without her presence."
