Drop Out Bodies uses the codes of contemporary dance and cinema to create a reinterpretation of “La Danse Macabre” from the Middle Ages. A monotonous silence envelopes a group of men and women, who are each standing still. They fall, one by one, in a random pattern, moving from immobility to choreographed descent. The film questions the fatality of the human body, as well as individual and collective responsibilities. Ludivine Large-Bessette is a multidisciplinary working across dance, photography and video. In her work, the body becomes a mirror that has the potential to unsettle and move audiences.
