EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ballet of the Apes" we are transported back to June 1977 at Bristol Zoo, where an extraordinary encounter between Diana the gorilla and her keeper, Mike Colbourne, unfolds. As the image suggests, it seems that even in the world of animals, dance has a way of transcending boundaries. Amidst a backdrop of lush greenery and curious onlookers, we witness an amusing scene as Mike attempts to captivate Diana with his graceful moves. With arms outstretched and feet poised delicately on tiptoe, he performs an elegant ballet routine before his unimpressed audience member. Diana's stoic expression reveals her indifference towards Mike's efforts to entertain her through dance. Her gaze remains fixed upon him but devoid of any emotional response. It is as if she sees right through his performance or perhaps finds amusement in observing human behavior from afar. This photograph captures not only a light-hearted moment but also invites us to reflect on our own unique forms of communication and connection across species. The juxtaposition between man and animal creates a sense of wonderment while reminding us that sometimes even our best efforts may fall short when attempting to bridge the gap between different worlds. With its blend of humor and unusual circumstances, this image serves as a delightful reminder that life's most unexpected interactions can often bring joy into our lives – whether they occur within or beyond the confines of traditional entertainment realms.
