Bestias Danzantes, cinema

30 Aug 2020

Screening of seven dance short films from Austria, Chile, Colombia, the United States, Finland, and France, inviting us to reflect on the world we contribute to shaping. An invitation to reconnect with ourselves through the movement of the body and its images, breaking down territorial and identity borders, bringing us closer to one another, and building new perspectives of exchange and universality.

«We are all irremediably immersed in this landscape of emotions, sensations, visions, experiences, and reflections that is the scandal of indifference. We live in a world that pushes us to ever more speed, more anxiety, to produce in a general absence of meaning and to continue our labor through sheer inertia. A world that separates us from ourselves and from others. A world that distances us from the pleasure of cultural, bodily, and sexual diversity. A world that disconnects us from the pain of others, from migrants, and from all those left behind by the global humanitarian and ecosystemic crisis shaping our present. A world that makes us completely insensitive and blind…»
