Roselyne (Tereza Vejvodová, CZ 2021, 20’)

Choreography: Markéta Jandová

An audiovisual poem based on the true story of Roselyne - a woman who forgot to live her life. She could be a reflection of our doubts, the decisions we did not make, the possibilities we did not enjoy. How do we become our true selves?

Épicentre - A film by Anne Nguyen et Greg Kozo (Anne Nguyen, Greg Kozo, FR 2022, 8’)

Choreography: Anne Nguyen

Anne Nguyen invites the spectator to question the concept of cultural appropriation and the stereotypes associated with bodies through dance. The film queries the influence that large architectural complexes have over humans and their social behaviour, while celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Résidence Le Parc in Paris.

Toporzeł (Iwona Pasińska, PL 2019, 9’)

Choreography: Iwona Pasińska

Toporzeł was inspired by the sculptures of Stanisław Szukalski (Poland, 1893-1987). In the sculptures the motif of the human body appears: muscle tension, movement and expression. In the film we see mountain landscapes, from which dancers emerge. Everything intertwines with each other, emphasising the strong bonds between man and nature.

Enigmatic creatures make their way through the contemporary building of the Tel Aviv Museum

VIVALDIS (Philippe Decouflé, FR 2019, 15’)
