TVP Studio: TVP TVP [Music Video]

You can tell it is "European". And I mean that in a good way. My first thought were this is Jerzy Grotowski.

Here is the opening paragraph of his statement of principles for his acting students:

"The rhythm of life in modern civilization is characterized by pace, tension, a feeling of doom, the wish to hide our personal motives and the assumption of a variety of roles and masks in life (different ones with our family, at work, amongst friends or in community life, etc.-). We like to be "scientific", by which we mean discursive and cerebral, since this attitude is dictated by the course of civilization. But we also want to pay tribute to our biological selves, to what we might call physiological pleasures. We do not want to be restricted in this sphere. Therefore we play a double game of intellect and instinct, thought and emotion; we try to divide ourselves artificially into body and soul. When we try to liberate ourselves from it all we start to shout and stamp, we convulse to the rhythm of music. In our search for liberation we reach biological chaos. We suffer most from a lack of totality, throwing ourselves away, squandering ourselves."

I have only this comment in general (not just directed at the performers). I wonder why,when taking from Rap, the whole body modeling of the originators of the genre should be copied. I would love to see some development, an extension of the style as opposed to mere mimicry.

At least in your execution of the video you have done that and I found the imagery fascinating. Dark but compelling.

Good work.
