Dancing in the Dark Print - Limited Edition of 100

0Dancing in the Dark restyles a doodle I made for Cyber Dancer, but that I then dismissed in favor for a different design. Many other artists have explored this theme. Bruce Springsteen wrote this song Dancing in the Dark about his difficulty writing a hit single and his frustration trying to write songs that will please people. His struggles pour out in the lyric “Dancin’ in the dark”, where he feels like a hired gun dying for some action. You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Dancer in the Dark is also musical drama film written and directed by Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier. It stars Icelandic musician Björk as a factory worker who suffers from a degenerative eye condition and is saving for an operation to prevent her young son from suffering the same fate. When a desperate neighbor falsely accuses Selma of stealing his savings, the drama of her life escalates to a tragic finale. It is one of the most painful films I had to endure. The 2005 novel "Dancing in the Dark” by Kittitian-British writer Caryl Phillips explores the tensions of assuming a false identity which, in a racist society, would be considered the 'true' identity of the player. This catches the performer in the double bind of using the actor's art to confirm prejudices, which then blind their audiences to that art." The story also deals with "the perils of self-invention, that have long plagued American culture".
