MIDNIGHT MEAT FLIGHT

 
 
 
 

Play / Contemporary dance
Directed by Matjaž Pograjc
Produced by Bunker Productions
Opening night: October 19 2000

Midnight Meat Flight, the first collaboration between director Matjaž Pograjc and Silence, marks the onset of Silence's involvement in theatre. Not only does the play feature Silence's very first theatre score, it also represents Hladnik's and Benko's acting debut. Silence played the ruthless hosts of a macabre dance marathon in which refugees from Eastern Europe competed for a one-way ticket to the promised land – the West. The play, an uncompromising portrait of human ferocity, was based on two classic pictures: Michael Curtiz's Casablanca and Sydney Pollack's They Shoot Horses, Don't They?.

The soundtrack featured eight songs from Silence's 1st and 2nd album, rearranged for the occasion. The score also featured a cover version of Prince's classic hit When Doves Cry.
