Dear Dancer

As the pandemic forces cultural shutdowns around the world, American choreographer Deborah Hay decides to let her dancers continue their rehearsals and perform her piece for empty halls. From her home in Austin, Texas, she writes them a letter, proposing a conceptual experiment in which every choreography is replaced by a series of unanswered questions. Former CPH:DOX winner Marcus Lindeen (‘The Raft’, 2018) follows the dancers from the Cullberg company in Stockholm on and off stage, as they themselves put into words their reactions to the experiment. Some enjoy the freedom of dancing without instructions, while others feel they are in deep water.
