The score is evocative and propulsive, but otherwise this short feels uninventive and shallow given the richness of its subject matter. There's very little thematic exploration or reframing other than transferring the historical dancing and sense of hysteria/witchiness to a 2020s setting—acting especially as a lens into quarantine and early pandemic-era isolation. I guess the dancers' solitude (versus how public the "dancing plague" incidents were) has some interesting implications, but this was still a pretty obvious choice given (pandemic aside)…
