KAFKA DISCO
Through partner work exploring the poetic possibilities of breakdance with fluidity and softness, four performers are swept away by the force of the group, which ultimately surpasses them.
Kafka Disco was part of the official selection for Parcours Danse 2023, Flatlands Dance Film Festival 2024, and Opine Dance Film Festival 2024.
Jennifer Allen
"I love the oddness and unexpectedness of this, bringing in different movement styles: capoeira, club dance, improvisation. A Dadaist relationship to natural organisms that creatively moves from natural to more urban/formal landscapes. Diverse in so many good ways. It forefronts the strength of community."
Omri Drumlevich
"The film has whimsical ideas and a fun progression."
