Trailer
This film will be presented during the La Nuit de la danse event on March 21st, 2025 at Théâtre Outremont.
A group of dancers takes place among the ancient and modern ruins of the island of Crete, Greece. Drawing inspiration from its rich heritage, they create a series of kinetic forms and patterns influenced by folk dances. These installations, whether in harmony or contrast with the island’s culture, offer a thought-provoking reflection on historical memory and Cretan identity.
