Synopsis

A New York insurance company sends in a team of high levels investigators to assess a claim related to the accidental death of six workers on an oil platform off the coast of Nigeria. As the investigation unfolds it becomes clear that the dead men were in fact taken hostage by terrorists and slaughtered. In normal circumstances the huge claim would just be refused. But these aren't normal circumstances; the insurance company has walked into a political and economic minefield. Denial would place them at odds with Nigeria and the rest of Africa. Multi-national companies working in the region would be severely punished. There could only be one solution: pay up. Keep silent and pretend. The chief investigator is left hopelessly compromised

Two outlaws discover that they have been played and the only way to survive it is to rise above it all and dance. Two outcasts from society discover that they have been played by an unscrupulous world and the only way to survive it, is to rise above it all and dance the evil away even kill "it". One of the outcasts is threatening the other with a gun. They are having a violent interaction amongst the dancers. The dancers are the angels. They come to the rescue of the threatened outcast, by performing the “devil dance" conjuring the evil spirits. They surround the evil and the threatened outcast managed to remove the gun from his enemy and kill him. He has killed and he is evil too. The murdered outcast is lying on the floor and the dancers in turn bow down, in a sign of respect. The dancers toast to the dead wishing it a resurrection to a new being, pure and good. The ballet itself is a taken-on Britain's society in the 21st century and the desperation endured by some members of society too often ignored.

Director: Nick Peterson

Year: 2022

They are the workers running your country. They have a conversation but it's unclear if they understand each other or if the problems have been solved. When the music ends, they are still trying to talk desperately to each other. There is no need to have the audio: bad communication has the same effect as being deaf and mute.
