Will we meet again?

‘Will we meet again?’ is a singular and authentic dance film where the nowaday separated couple showcases the power and depth of love and find solace in their imaginations through the prism of dance.

We discover the capacity that our mind has of keeping these feelings intact, allowing them to appear just like open doors leading to the past. We also take a glimpse of the need to project ourselves and the hope of a future reunion…

Through the different scenes, the mind moves from past to present and dreams about a possible moment of reuniting in a more or less near future. The faith stays intact, the border between fantasy and reality melts together to evoke and translate the feelings, the need for one another.

The hope, the desire and the need all coincide, either through the man’s gaze or the woman’s with modesty and depth as if sublimated by the memories and the unconscious mind…

Director Statement

“This movie sheds light on desire and need. Feelings known by all, we wanted to talk about love in an original and poetic way thanks to contemporary dance.

We wanted to share and put together our two artistic worlds, which are different and complete each other. We wrote a singular and poetic choreography, full of rawness and sensuality, in which these two bodies meet for a non-verbal dialogue, without boundaries and with a complete simplicity and trust.

We have carried out a demanding and thorough piece of work in order to create a symbiosis between images, filming locations, danse, interpretation and music.

This duo which started in 2021 during the pandemic was created during the times where theaters were closed and where we couldn’t perform on stage. In this short film, as in real life we were separated from what we desired : our other half / dancing on stage to meet with the public.

For both of these worlds, there was only one way to reunite once again and that is through the mind, by diving into past memories, or by imagining a future encounter.”
