MeM#7 —8)No more Beautiful Dances (Anabella Lenzu. Argentina.) (EXCERPT-FRAGMENTO) 1:19 min. from Movimiento en Movimiento on Vimeo.

“No more Beautiful Dances” wrestles with the ideas of exploration, introspection and reframing a woman after becoming a mother, and being an inmigrant. Lenzu’s dance theater piece uses spoken word and drawings to tell a personal vision of femininity, and what it means to be a woman today.
