Dance with a Demon

A Story of Movement

PG 2020 · 13 min · Adventure, Family, Thriller

Dance with a Demon is a nonlinear, visceral journey of a mother’s internal struggle with a debilitating disease. This struggle is brought to life in the vivid imagination of her daughter Alice, who is trying to make sense of her mother's absence. Her imagination takes us into a haunting fantasy world of metal and ash, and in this world, Alice watches her mother tell her journey through movement. This is a story of anguish and triumph, intricately woven through choreography. This is more than a metaphor; it’s a depiction of events that have rocked this family's life. The drums crescendo as frenzied dance builds, and Alice must cling to every word her father has to say to learn the ultimate fate of her mother.
