More On Dance - This Time "They Dance Alone"

Another reader writes to tell us more on the topic of dancing.

 

But, this time on a more serious note, she includes a copy of Sting's "Cueca Solo" (They Dance Alone)

 

First published on his 1987 album Nothing Like The Sun it refers to mourning Chilean women who dance the Cueca, the national dance of Chile, alone with photographs of their disappeared loved ones in their hands.

 

Sting explained his song as a symbolic gesture of protest against the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet whose regime killed thousands of people between 1973 and 1990.

 

On the album Sting was accompanied by Mark Knopfler (guitar) and Ruben Blades (background vocals and guitar).

 

There are several live versions of this song, most notable from the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute (1988), from an Amnesty International concert (1988) in Buenos Aires with Peter Gabriel

and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo from Chile. Artists performing included Sting, Jackson Browne, Wynton Marsalis, Sin�ad O'Connor, Peter Gabriel, and New Kids on the Block.

The First Movie In History?

Arrival of train at Ciotat

 

The film is associated with an urban legend well known in the world of cinema.

 

The story goes that when the film was first shown, the audience was so overwhelmed by the moving image of a life-sized train coming directly at them that people screamed and ran to the back of the room.

 

Hellmuth Karasek in the German magazine Der Spiegel wrote that the film "had a particularly lasting impact; yes, it caused fear, terror, even panic."

 

However, some have doubted the veracity of this incident such as film scholar and historian Martin Loiperdinger (de) in his essay, "Lumiere's Arrival of the Train: Cinema's Founding Myth".

 

Whether or not it actually happened, the film undoubtedly astonished people in the audience who were unaccustomed to the amazingly realistic illusions created by moving pictures.

 

The Lumi�re brothers clearly knew that the effect would be dramatic if they placed the camera on the platform very close to the arriving train.
