David Bintley was originally attracted to the sleeve cover of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra (PCO). After listening to the album Bintley decided to make a Ballet to the music. David Bintley (choreographer) happened to be reading a book about vanished species at the time of choreographing [the doomsday book of animals by David Day] which also helped to create his inspiration. An extract from this book about the Great Auk Penguin opens the ballet narrated by Jeremy Ions. Bintley picked 8 tracks from this album, keeping the order in which they appeared on the album.

Still Life at the Penguin Cafe is split into 7 separate sections Each sections is based around the common theme of endangered animals
