The Dance of the Damned Women

Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Starring Helene Friberg, Nina Harte

This short dance film presents four women moving within a narrow, enclosed room to music by Claudio Monteverdi. Conceived as a dance play rather than a ballet, the performers embody recurring female roles passed down across generations, including figures identified as damned souls, death, and a child compelled into the same patterns.
