“I am a dancer, and I had never seen my parents dance before.
While researching for a project in which I needed to learn to dance as they did in the sixties, I came up with the idea of filming my parents dancing, and by observing them, I discovered things about them that I didn’t know. Stopping to watch your parents is not something we do very often, and this simple act triggered many questions for me at that time. This is an investigation that began in my parents’ living room and gradually expanded to other rooms, building something related to emotions and memories. There were generations before us that interacted with their bodies and danced a lot and very well, and that is something that makes them different from us. I want to explore how far these differences go and what I can learn from all those people who used to fall in love dancing.
Have you ever seen your parents dance?”
