Symphony of the body
Between the coming and going of trains and travelers in the monumental Rotterdam Central station, two people try to meet in music and dance. This poetic and musical film explores the body in the midst of architectural functionality. With “up-and-coming flamenco God” Eduardo Guerrero and the masterly singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana.
Symphony of the Body is a short dance film about architecture. It is an ode to the body’s ability to claim space in the overwhelming architecture of Rotterdam. The film had its festival premiere in October 2o19 at the Fiver International Dance Film Festival, where it also won a special mention. The film has also been screened at other international festivals in the past year, where it is highly regarded.
