Alibi |
|
| a film by Maarten Vanden Abeele
concept e direction Meg Stuart
production Damaged Goods |
|
| A digital film that recreates the performance "ALIBI", into a visual reflection on dance,
word, image and movement. In "ALIBI" Meg Stuart generates a theatrical environment
in which physical and virtual presence confront each other. The desire for the real
clashes against a reality that has become a spectacle. |

|
| a film by Giovanni Cioni
choreography Alain Platel, Arne Sierens |
|
| The performance that revealed to Italy the genius of Alain Platel. The scene is a
fairground dodgem track: the musical score, which includes everything from a
Bach mass to pounding house, accompanies the rituals of awakening adulthood,
in a visionary work astonishingly performed by young people who are not
professional dancers but schoolchildren. |
