Movie

“97” is a performative art film based on a same-titled poem, combining monologue and physical theatre. It creates a vulnerable space for reflection and release, confronting the trauma of witnessing death and the guilt and helplessness that follow. The metaphor of dirt and cleanness is used to explore the uncontrollability of death, war, and love.
