followed by a discussion with director Cédric Klapisch, choreographer Hofesh Shechter, dancers Marion Barbeau and Robinson Cassarino, and more talents involved in the making of Rise
After being injured during a performance and told she will no longer be able to dance, Elise, a very promising classical dancer, tries to find a new direction in contemporary dance.
Élise (Marion Barbeau) is a talented ballet dancer whose life is turned upside down – first by an injury and then when she catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her understudy. On a path to physical and emotional recovery, she travels from Paris to Brittany, where she embraces the artistic freedom of contemporary dance. On this journey of self-discovery, she finds friendship and new ways to reinvent herself. Cédric Klapisch (Someone Somewhere, Back to Burgundy) delivers a tale of strength and resilience.
"It will dance its way into your heart."
