Trailer
Hors is an experimental dance film at the fringes of surrealism, propelled by a reflection on inner and outer spaces. Two women-landscapes meld into one another and displace themselves to far-flung settings, from winter landscapes to harsh, uninhabited places, in a quest to find somewhere they belong — if such a place exists. Our vision of the dance is transformed by the camera’s lens, which throws open new creative possibilities on both stage and screen. There is a dissonance between calm and discomfort. Powerful and contrasting images tell a story that takes place under the skin, at the intersection of self and other; meanwhile, the innate bond with nature emerges as a means of finding our roots.
