Dance on the Volcano 2001

Directed by Alexander Kluge

Aristocrats playing at the simple life are surprised by a revolution. Now, under emergency conditions, love relations develop with great power. Masaniello Furioso, a legendary folk hero like Wilhelm Tell, Robin Hood or Rienzi, is the leader of the uprising of fishermen of 1647 in Naples. A captivating baroque opera by Reinhard Keiser (1706) tells its story.
