Short film

From the depths of our imagination, a forest appears, inhabited by plants, human beings and their fantasies. In this millenary forest, the space is shared with the wind. This place full of tales and fables evokes a reality close to a vivid dream. What is shown is a testimony of the desire to live and to dance.

 

Differentness is based on the show Happy Island, choreography by La Ribot with company Dançando com a Diferença. Creation September 2018 at Grütli – Centre de production et de diffusion des Arts vivants, in the framework of La Bâtie-festival de Genève.
