SHORT SYNOPSIS
The project “Battles” by the Movement Improvisation Group of Artogether – Art of People With and Without Disabilities is part of the program EXCLUSION “What if your whole life was in quarantine?”. The group is inspired by meanings and words that started making their appearance in the public speech during the covid-19 quarantine: violence, heroism, restriction, battle. The Group takes these words and transforms them comically into super hero dance battles exploring the heroism within and the individual strength. Five different dance videos (and an altogether outro) show these battles/performances keeping the audio description narrator on stage.
