Dancing Pina

In March 2020, the world experienced a global response to the spread of the coronavirus. Events were canceled. Public life restricted. The rehearsals for The Rite of Spring came to a pause and rehearsal directors and dancers had to return to their homes. Before that, they rehearsed for the last time on the beach of Toubab Dialaw (Senegal). A documentary film team around filmmaker Florian Heinzen-Ziob was on site. The team spontaneously filmed the last rehearsal and captured a unique moment of self-empowerment and togetherness.
