Dancing Through Adversity
How do you speak about war when words fail? You dance. Waacking, Popping, Krump – three urban dance styles, three personal stories. The protagonists of this film share a common experience: war, emotional paralysis, the loss of meaning.
At first, dance seemed pointless. Later, it became a way to feel, to connect, to continue.
Dance as a safer space. Dance as therapy. Dance as resistance. Dance as a language beyond words. Dance as a way to reach others. This film explores how, even in times of destruction, dance becomes a form of presence, resilience, and healing. Not as entertainment, but as a way to exist.
In English, with English subtitles.
