The short film Dancing Plague is the new work of a long collaboration of more than thirteen years between Diego Agulló and Jorge Ruiz Abánades . Based on three images of Peter Brueghel the Elder, and taking as a handwritten texts that recount the phenomenon of multitudes known as ” dancing mania ” or “Dance of San Vito ” , this film delves into the theme of the dance and its close affinity with the uncontrollable forces of chaos : immediate ability to interrupt work time , enabling another exceptional time of the bizarre, the jovial and festive but also of social disorder and catastrophe

BASED on Pieter Bruegel the Elder´s paintings:

The Tower of Babel (c. 1563)

The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (c. 1559)

The Triumph of Death (c. 1562)
