New trailer „In my room“ (2022)
„People are made in such a way that they need each other. But they haven’t learned how to be together.“
In January 1972, German director R.W. Fassbinder shot The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant in just ten days — a radical film about power structures and the pressing question: How can and do we want to live together?
Fifty years later, Shaked Heller and I developed a choreography of nightmarish depth that not only addresses human dynamics, but also reflects on the interrelationship between people and space.
In a duet of oppressive closeness, prisoner and captor face each other within an arena of blankets. Exposed to the inevitability of their encounter, the audience observes a fight for power, closeness, and trust.
