Trapeze, Opus 39 by Sergei Prokofiev
commissioned by the Ensemble United Berlin in 2004

Trapeze is a 35 minute video made to synchronize with the playing of Opus 39 by Sergei Prokofiev.  The theme of summer carnivals and fairs was developed from the title "Trapeze" which evokes a public circus like event. Carnivals from Coney Island, NY to Utica, Ohio were filmed for this process.
