Vertige de la Chute (Ressaca)
France Synopsis
Brazil’s National Ballet was fighting for its survival. The State of Rio was bankrupt, and dancers were no longer paid. Artists joined the resistance, declaring when there is no more bread and no more culture, there would be chaos. Our art is our weapon and we’re going to use it.
