Trailer: Poly-Mirrors the film by Naïma Mazic & Alaa Alkurdi
Look at me.
Don’t look at me.
Look diagonally up into the right corner.
Look diagonally down into the left corner.
Create a diagonal line between your right shoulder and your left hip.
Stop.
Tilt your head.
Change the position of the eyes.
Do not not look at me.
Show me your neck.
In the film PoLy-Mirrors a dialogue between a dancer and a choreographer is being explored through simultaneous reflections and isolations, within the difficulties and challenges of being a female performer and leader. The arc of the film is built on the drive and the urgency to discover new ways to reclaim and re-signify gestures of feminine diagonals, from the figure of the Virgin Mary, European renaissance art until today, and the rooted perceptions on gender expectations. The film is based on- and includes the piece PoLy- Mirrors / a re-performance of feminine diagonals by Naïma Mazic, together with dancers and jazz musicians.
