Révolution

Olivier Dubois (France)

135 minutes

The revolution is advancing! And it is female. At least that's what Olivier Dubois shows in Révolution, a choreography for fifteen dancers who in an endless march put their bodies to the service of a peaceful project. Three hours of marching, falling, helping each other up, continuing, and persevering. The movement is always the same, yet every step is different. The solidarity of the women seems instinctive and organic. Révolution is a march of centuries, a dance of protest.
