Aviva
Entrancing dance film full of sensuality filmed in Paris and New York. Screening in the context of the Dutch Dance Festival.
Aviva is a young Parisian who develops an online romance with Eden, a New Yorker. After a long courtship they meet in person and fall in love, settling into an intimate relationship that leads to marriage. But their lives are not without struggle – for inside both young lovers there are factions of masculine and feminine energies battling for primacy in and outside of the bodies that contain them.
Incorporating triumphant dance sequences and featuring a pair of principal characters played by four different actors externally expressing their masculine and feminine sides, AVIVA captures a restless, frenzied and very fluid moment in time – right now – where the male-female dynamics are demystified and laid bare like never before.
