Tonight, you join me at London's National Gallery on the north side | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
of Trafalgar Square for a very special performance. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
It's part of a strand of programmes called Performance Live, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
bringing some of today's most exciting artists | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
to the small screen. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Photographer Robin Friend | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
and world-renowned choreographer Wayne McGregor | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
have brought together guest choreographers, composers, dancers, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
spoken word and music artists to create a unique and sensuous journey | 0:00:23 | 0:00:28 | |
through the gallery rooms, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
as well as a mysterious underground cavern. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
As sirens sounded in 1939, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
it was from here that the nation's art was evacuated | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
to a slate mine in Wales. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
For five years, the near empty gallery would become a venue | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
for lunchtime concerts, before peace, and the collection, returned. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
It's this tale of exodus and redemption that inspired | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
tonight's story, in which an evacuee painting takes on human form | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
as it struggles to return home. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
The film asks the question | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
what must be done to protect humanity's cultural heritage | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
from violence in the world? | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Here... | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
..another ballad for the borrow bodied | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
The displaced | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
But not the likely story | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
1940, we were carried in coyote kisses, canvas skin | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
Blurred into vignettes | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Under the burning of wings, we were the persons of interest | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Proudly hung masterpieces | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
Now, young evacuees, blue-lipped, acrylic | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Shivering in the boot | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Huddled in truck back | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Promised a new home with the long walk of the Navajo, but | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
Well wished | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
Smuggled like abalone shell fish | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
To a pre-gutted galleria in a Welsh rib | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
We felt like latchkey kids | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Did you read those letters home to Ludwig on the Luftwaffe wing? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
We wrote you love in linseed oil, under the blitzkrieg | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
Look at the things we'd spoiled for war | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Who made a killing off the human race by killing off the human race? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
A shilling each for Schumann played | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Enter, winged bull in the elephant case | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
