InArtDANCE OR DIE NATHALIE DE LOPEZ France | 7' 27 JUN | 7.30pm
Conceived as a portrait film, tells the resilient story of French dancer Kevin Bago, who, because of an accident, lost sight in his left eye. The film carries a message of hope at a time when the world most needs it. It’s divided into four acts, corresponding to the four verses of William Henley’s poem “Invictus”, published in 1875. The poet was himself condemned to the amputation of one of his legs. Throughout the short, the viewers watch Bago dancing while confessing the emotions he went through after the accident occurred. +INFO
