Divertimento in D major KV 136. Presto poster
NR

A film miniature for classical music inspired by the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The form of a luminous line following the rhythm and tempo of the music creates musical instruments suspended in space. The line runs through a city lit up by neon lights, tracing surreal, abstract shapes, only to transform them into dancing silhouettes a moment later. The sounds of the music change the intensity of the light from white and black to a full range of colors vibrating to the rhythm of the music.
