Hand it to the finger ballet

Published March 30, 2012

A dance production with a difference - the moves in 'Kiss and Cry' are created by two hands. The show is a magical miniature ballet where fingers entwine and flirt to tell the story.

Directed by renowned Belgian film maker Jaco van Dormael the multi-media project pushes the boundary between dance, theatre and cinema.

'Kiss and Cry', produced by Charleroi Dances, has drawn raving reviews and standing ovations while on tour in Belgium.

The show is now in Canada and is set to tour the Middle East and Europe. – Text and video by Reuters
