a moment of classic modernist closure

The following sentence is describing a TV program on parkour. Does it mean "at the end of the movie the traceurs jumps in the sky on the rooftop terrace of Tate Modern with sunset behind it, a scene that is both classic and modern?

It even ended with a moment of classic modernist closure, as the traceurs’ performance came to a ‘natural halt’ on the rooftop
terrace of Tate Modern, against the backdrop of a glorious Waterloo sunset.
