L’ÉTERNEL GESTE

Documentary (en écriture)

…

In front of a black canvas background, a graceful hand adorned with gold moves slowly. It is a whole country, a history, a culture that comes to life on stage. It is more than 1000 years and more than 4000 gestures, composing a body poetry, which continue to live on today.

The Eternal Gesture is a documentary about the Royal Ballet of Cambodia, dance listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Proposing as a starting point the basic movement describing the cycle of life, we retrace the history of the Ballet, which is intrinsically linked to the tumultuous history of the Kingdom, focusing on the
importance of nature and spirituality that we find in each of the gestures that compose the basic repertoire that is a thousand years old.
