Broadcast in 1981 on Canal Once (Channel 11) in Mexico, Nuclear Dance was inspired by Picasso's painting Guernica, Olavarrieta's Nuclear Poem, and Julian Carrillo's Sonido Trece. Both the painting and the poem are protests against war and nuclear weapons. This dance shows the beautiful forms of the human being and their impotence against a nuclear war.
The bodies of the dancers make forms of this world in suspension and unstable from the explosion of nuclear bombs. It represents the anguish of the people and the destruction nuclear weapons cause.
The dance represents the hopeless and futile nature of nuclear war.

You are right. I did the dance before choosing music. I thought this music was perfect. The opening was in the Sala Manuel M. Ponce inside the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico, and many other venues including the United Nations. Essentially, I create the dance, seek a composer, and work together. I think artists' visions are the visions of the future. Thank you for your comments. They're very much appreciated.
