Aria

A Spanish dance troupe gathers in a threadbare studio to perform a dress rehearsal for a flamenco interpretation of Federico Garcia Lorca's play ''Blood Wedding.'' Choreographer and lead dancer Leonardo is interviewed as the rest of the troupe makes final back-stage preparations. Without dialogue and through their movements alone, the dancers tell the tragic tale of two doomed lovers and a bridegroom who meet their fates in a violent knife fight.
