Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film focuses on a performance by the Symptoms Dance Company titled Sea Lavender, or the Euphoria of Being at the Comedy Theatre of Budapest, which premiered in autumn 2015. It depicts the duet of a ninety-year-old Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor and a young dancer. The performance is about the relationship between an elderly woman living with her memories of the Holocaust and a young Hungarian woman. It is about their intertwining paths of life; about aging and young and old bodies, performed with humor, honesty and empathy. The film focuses on the performance itself thus addressing the Holocaust theme from a novel perspective. 'Dancing for Life' also introduces the performance’s director, Réka Szabó, and the two dancers, Éva Fahidi and Emese Cuhorka.
