In “If I Were You” a couple shares an oscillating dance of intention and disruption–their movements a continuous exchange of support and potential peril, pushing them toward self-discovery. Falling into known patterns, but desperate to shift, they beckon and reject each other, careening toward togetherness. This is a slow, exhausting, mesmerizing dance, steeped in the unknown, where souls wait patiently to be held, released, and resolved.
The screening will be accompanied by a short live dance performance by Margot Gelber and Shoshana Brook.
