PERSONA

(2021)

A FILM BY LATIFA LAÂBISSI & MANON DE BOER

Persona turns a cinematic gaze on Écran Somnambule (2012), a performance by Latifa Laâbissi, that is in turn based on the film “Mary Wigman tanzt” (1930), an excerpt of her Hexentanz (1926). In the film, a physical experience of the disruptive power of the masked figure is conveyed in a circumscribing camera movement.
