09 Aug Run

A kind and charming woman awakens to a cold and dangerous dystopia, and then must battle to survive and find her lost love. In the process, she discovers that the wreckage surrounding her is not destruction at all, but a cycle in perpetual transformation. RUN, a short dance film, is a rhythmical journey set in the natural and urban outdoors and indoors. The goal is to provide a mimetic catharsis for the avoidance and denial of our hidden existential despair. (Make people feel better!… in a subliminal kind of way…) Despite its tragic theme, the performances have a detached element that never read melodramatic. “Dark City” meets “Pina“ and set to music by L. Subramaniam’s “Harmony of the Hearts,” directed by Delila Vallot and choreographed by Kitty McNamee, founder of the Los Angeles based dance company “Hysterica.”
