Before we go

Jorge León & 82' — 2014

Brussels. Opera of La Monnaie. Three people at the end of their lives meet with choreographers, actors and musicians. They take part in a unique experience which involves both music, dance and silence. Their quest becomes a tribute to the fragility of human condition, between reality and representation, tragedy of the body and freedom of the spirit. Together they question their own relationship with death.
