TAKAKO VS. NINE LIVES

Dance, USA
​Directed by Lauren Wolkstein
​
​A screen dance that juxtaposes classical ballet and masked professional wrestling in the lucha libra style. This film uses a hybrid dance language and multiple camera perspectives to create a three act pas de deux/ three round wrestling match. The choreography, performed to an original score, draws upon stylistic and aesthetic imagery from professional wrestling, classical ballet, comic books and Japanese manga. The action follows a mythological narrative, with characters behaving according to codes employed in Greek mythology, fairy tales and commedia dell’ arte. A battle unfolds, reflecting the interconnectedness of love and violence, beauty and monstrosity, strength and vulnerability, within a self system of social control that exists only to consolidate and reproduce its own power.
