XXXplicit Dance vol.2
Cinedans 2026: XXXplicit Dance vol.2
Inspired by the historical relationship between sex and dance, Cinedans returns, by popular demand, with the second edition of XXXplicit Dance. This time, we present a collection of films that challenge and question the limits of performativity.
Oscillating between the erotic, the pornographic, and the performative, this selection resists easy categorisation and proposes dance as an act that playfully explores the body in all its dimensions. With particular attention to women directors and protagonists, the program moves from phantasmagorical video clips and mysterious, absurd narratives to bold cross-genre experiments - solo and collective, introspective and explosive. An exciting and adventurous screening. For adults only.
Trigger warning: The screening contains nudity and explicit sexual acts.
