Experiencing Interruptions?

Preface

Signs, dance and hands. This film is a love story of a man that lets his hands talk when there is something to be said, something that has been said and something that can't be said.

The choreographer Madeleine Månsson uses her own experience as a wheelchair dancer in order to turn the perspectives in this piece about wordlessness as a language and consequence when our own feelings fails us.
