Short Films, 25-Jul-2019
In this experimental dance film, a pair of twin sisters aim to reconcile a sacred bond. “TWINS: You must be related!”, directed by Varya Rootwood and performed by India Gonzalez and Ananda Gonzalez, captures a mesmerizing and poignant dance routine that takes place on a median under a NYC bridge. There are no words spoken but we’re hovering around identity — the connection between twin sisters, the shared sense of frustration, the quest for independence. Moving between the serene and the frenzied, the film is immaculately designed in all facets, from the setting to the costumes to the witty and passionate choreography. [Watch on YouTube].
