Lila | Documentary Short-Film

SYNOPSIS

As part of the creation of his next show, Le sacre de lila, Ismaël Mouaraki invites the dancers of his company, Destins Croisés, to discover his Moroccan culture, the roots of his inspiration for this new piece. We follow the creative process of dancers from Montreal, joined by dancers from Morocco. More than an artistic residency, Lila presents the meeting between men who question their sensitivity, the relationship to their male body, and the identity questions of a choreographer at the crossroads of several worlds.
