Dancing Through Adversity: Ein Dokumentarfilm von Lars Ksienzyk

In the organizer's words:

How to talk about war when words fail? You dance. Waacking, popping, krump - three urban dance styles, three personal stories. The protagonists of this film share a common experience: the war, the emotional paralysis, the loss of meaning. At first, dance seemed pointless. Later it became a way to feel, to connect, to move on.
Dance as safer space. Dance as therapy. Dance as resistance. Dance as a language beyond words. Dance as a way to reach others. This film explores how dance becomes a form of presence, resilience and healing even in times of destruction. Not as entertainment, but as a way of existing.

In English, with English subtitles.

The foyer is open one hour before and after the event. The short documentary essay They Dance for Life by Kseniya Lazorenko will be shown here: "Dance is a movement that goes beyond the stage - a movement for life itself, for the right of Ukrainians to exist, to evolve. This essay was created in memory of those who died defending their homeland and in honor of those who continue the struggle." A presentation of the Ukrainian Culture Network e.V.
