Words Fail is an arrestingly visual and starkly emotional five-minute work, choreographed and danced by Peggy Baker, played by Shauna Rolston, with solo cello music composed by Chan Ka Nin. The work reflects a remarkable and first-time collaboration among three of Canada’s most illustrious and noted artists with prima ballerina/filmmaker, Veronica Tennant as producer and director.
