Between Maré and Bergen - Nororoca

The documentary follows Brazilian choreographer Lia Rodrigues during the creation of the dance piece Nororoca with Carte Blanche - The Norwegian Company of Contemporary Dance. The creative journey takes them to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, where they meet a different reality. The film revolves around cultural exchange and how art can confront what is perceived as evident. The theme is heightened now in the post-Covid world, where the physical interaction is restricted. The film reflects on race, gender, and cultural differences and shows how the place of creation is an integral part of the artwork.
