About the film: La Joie de Vivre

La Joie de Vivre
The Joy of Living
Year: 1934

In this animated short film, the high voltage lines are used as a musical stave, a trapeze and a trampoline. Two energetic young women walk together in time. Their stride relaxes into a pas de deux. The straps of their white dresses quiver, furtively showing a breast. All in arabesques, their dance-acrobatics fill the space. When suddenly a worker chases after them.
