Dancers

2014 · 10 min

A brief, provocative art piece that feels intimate and defiant, watching bodies become both statement and spectacle.

Overview
Thirty-five Portuguese dancers undress in front of the camera. They become the object of desire with a sensual provocative performance. Eclectic dance disciplines help this film to explore an exhibitionist view of the male nude. This is a statement about the current financial situation in Portugal and the lack of fundings to support artistic initiatives.
