Anna Semenova
Trailer
This film will be presented during the event La Nuit de la danse on March 16, 2023 at Théâtre Outremont.
Fragments of Resilience was created in a hurry during the summer of 2022, in the midst of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Shaken by these tragic events, Polish choreographer Maciej Kuzminski invited Ukrainian refugees to participate in his dance workshops, to create a unique dance that would influence his audience’s perception of the situation. Watch as Maciej and his Polish-Ukrainian crew try to make sense of the war, through deep discussions and emotional dance rehearsals.
