Big Girls Do Big Things

Eleanor Bauer (Belgium / United States)

55 minutes

A rapper, a ballerina, a diva, a polar bear: Eleanor Bauer is it all. With a selection of quirky personalities Bauer digs up images from pop culture, dance history, and the underground. En passant, she sweeps all the conventions of the performance genre grinningly onto a heap. Bauer eff ortlessly mixes dance with singing, theatre and stand-up. (BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS) simultaneously gives evidence of grandeur and vulnerability, pride and modesty. Eleanor Bauer at her best!
