beyond my steps

The five dancers of the professional (and inclusive) Angolan Contemporary Dance Company embark us in the heart of the creation of their new performance. Between modern Luanda and the mythic country side, they develop an aesthetic reflecting the changes of the Angolan society fuelled with the striking ancestral dance traditions. They offer us a unique travel, through amazing landscapes, magnified by the hypnotic dancers' bodies and movements, the impressive shooting quality and a bewitching original electro music.

This film unveils how all the people working behind the scenes make this fusion happen again to forge and form moving dance performances.

When Marcos Morau, choreographer who lives in Barcelona and works in Europe, Kukai, a dance company of Basque traditional dancers and a shepherd-singer meet, it creates a powerful ballet: OSKARA. In a globalised world, we are pushed to ask us: what is my identity? Is it made of tradition or creation, history or future? If you want to know who you are, dance.
