Most people know the story of the Pied Piper. The children, following the Pied Piper of Hamlin, disappeared into a mountain cave just outside the town. In total one hundred thirty children were lost. The mountain really exists and is called Poppenberg. Local legend in Transylvania has it that the children emerged near the site of the old town square town of Brasov.
In September 2005, Anne-Marie Creamer found herself in the small city of Brasov between changing trains, and made her way to this same town square only to find it full of dancing children. Struck by the strange parallel between these dancing children and the lost children of Hamlin, who were also said to have ended their days here in a sort of fantastic terrible exile, she recorded the dance to make this film.
