LITOST
Trailer. 04’27
(Film. 30’15)
_a 30 minutes dance film that uses sporadically some of the characteristics of Fairy Tales, Musicals, Mimes and Circus only to answer a pathetic, yet essential, need to be entertained.
_a consciously vain journey in different locations, always coming back to the same surreal waiting room, governed by a whimsical nurse.
_an exploration of the idea of Litost (from Milan Kundera’s book of laughter and Forgetting) through the struggle of different characters suffering from mysterious pathologies that reveal their weaknesses, misery and desire of revenge.
_an attempt to relate human imperfections to questions of territory, power and shame.
_a collaboration between visual artists Ladan Anoushfar and Adrien Pelletier and dancers Chloé Attou and Peter Jaško.
Directed and edited by Ladan Anoushfar and Adrien Pelletier.
