ONE MILLION STEPS, Documentary Dance Film, ronjafilm production, 2015
A dancer dancing while in another place people are running in the tear gas. And suddenly points of contact, in the middle of the Gezi protests in Istanbul. A struggle for living space and the freedom of one's own steps.
*
Um bailarino a dançar enquanto noutro lugar as pessoas estão a correr no gás lacrimogéneo. E subitamente pontos de contacto, no meio dos protestos de Gezi em Istambul. Uma luta pelo espaço de vida e a liberdade dos próprios passos.
*
Eine Tänzerin die tanzt, während an einem anderen Ort Menschen im Tränengas rennen. Und plötzlich Berührungspunkte, mitten in den Gezi-Protesten in Istanbul. Ein Kampf um Lebensraum und die Freiheit der eigenen Schritte.
