DANCERS

DANCERS grants a look behind the scenes, beyond the stage and the boards that make up the dancer’s world. Internationally renowned ballet dancers from Brazil, Cuba, Russia and France open up a glimpse into their lives in a composition of dance, video and sound art.

The complex links between the dancer s personal situation, cultural background, the artistic understanding of the dancer’s role and the motivation required to accept its high demands are introduced.
