1001 NIGHTS APART

In the organizer's words:

Film Synopsis: "...But I don't believe life is supposed to be easy." Dancers in an underground room somewhere in Tehran. They move gracefully through the simple space, constantly developing new approaches to choreography, using chalk, individual props, but above all their bodies, which are crying out for an opportunity to express themselves freely. Dance in Iran has fallen into a state-imposed slumber. A few soloists manage to break out occasionally, but never an entire ensemble. The former dancers of the Iranian National Ballet Company also find it difficult to return to their country of birth to meet their courageous successors. Sensitive and incredibly honest - a dance of emotions! Anna Magdalena Hofer
