Experiencing Interruptions?

Rehearsal

"Rehearsal" is a short film about the crisis in the relationship between a woman and a man. It talks about the conflicting forces influencing our protagonists. On the one hand, something repels them from each other, and on the other - not allowing them to be apart. The film was made for the love of dance and movement theater. The body language can be more expressive and fuller than words.

Director Statement

An empty club. A disturbing red light. A woman and a man on the dance floor. They are dancers, here to put themselves to rehearsal. They begin to dance. Initially they move in full harmony but over time the dance changes into a competition and finally - into a battle. Hidden emotions, grievances and tensions come out. "Rehearsal" is a metaphorical story of a woman in a relationship. About the conflicting forces that tear her: attachment, rejection, anger and love. About a difficult, bittersweet dance which, actually, is every relationship between a woman and a man.
