Breathtaking images. Intimate testimonials. A bewitching voice. The Call of Dance travels throughout Senegal and showcases dance in all its forms on its territory. Traditional and contemporary. Wrestlers and krumpers. Ceremonies and battles.
Diane Fardoun and her team draw an authentic portrait of an art in constant evolution. Dance is important and omnipresent in Senegalese culture. The new generations are nourish themselves with the traditions. But they are also inspired by their reality, their time, new trends, to create new forms, new languages. And thus find their freedom, their expression. From Dakar to Ngor, the expression of the bodies, the beauty of the movement, the sincerity of the dancers and the magic of the shooting give shivers. A powerful and original documentary!
This documentary is the pilot episode of a series. Wishing that it will see the light and waiting for the next stop!
