In the history of dance, JEAN WEIDT, choreographer
and dancer, was a remarkable phenomenon. He was the first to employ the
language of dance as a political instrument in a fight for humanity and
for social ideas.
Dancing for ideals, dancing for the improvement of human conditions, such
was his goal (just as Brecht in litterature ). His was a categoric NO
to traditional dance conventions,
a NO to all attempts to flee from reality.
Prize for best documentary: DANCE SCREEN 1990.
