Berlin (1995)

Graeme Murphy's BERLIN is an exploration using the city of Berlin as a symbol of decline and resurrection. Seductively theatrical, BERLIN explores the heart and mind of what it is to be human. A hauntingly powerful and beautiful piece of dance theatre transposed to the small screen. Murphy said: "The city of Berlin has always provoked potent global reactions and strong personal resonances, even from those who have never been there - Berlin currently and historically, evokes images of perpetual re-birth. The dominant physicality is of cranes lifting the spirit of the city towards the future, juxtaposed with streets riddled with deep, dark holes that seem to contain the ghosts of its past"
