L'Homme qui danse (2004)

Overview

Angelin Preljocaj, Christian Bourrigault, Dimitri Chamblas, Mark Tompkins, François Verret, Alain Buffard, Kader Belarbi, Josef Nadj, and Philippe Decouflé are some of the artists—all male—portrayed on screen. A long time in the making, this project by dance critic Rosita Boisseau and filmmaker Valérie Urréa brings together excerpts from performances and interviews around a central question: men and dance. In the documentary, the theme is explored step by step from the same point of view. By giving space for "the men who bring contemporary dance to life," that is, performers and choreographers with solid professional careers, to express themselves on the same subject, men and their identity.
