Sing The Sand Into Pearls

-Contemporary Dance short-film

Embraced in a dance of rebellion, Sing The Sand Into Pearls tells the story of three women who escape from a self-centered society and celebrate genuinity in a hideaway ritual. Raquel Claudino debuts in a contemporary dance film, exploring the raw beauty of the performers across a city charged with history and mysticism. Set in Lisbon, a metropolis with flaws, they narrate their journey through a delicate dance that brings us all to a parallel sphere. An experimental project where international artists collaborate with the director to create a subtle but nonetheless daring story.

Reviews

''A group of women move seamlessly through a barely awaken cityscape in this gentle and engaging dance narrative. Their energy probingly insinuates itself into the city space- testing, looking. What are they searching for? As they move to the liberating natural space beyond the city limits, this startling dance narrative explodes with individual and collective expression. This is a beautiful film, full of wonder and passion'' - Judge, Donna Casella
