Short film by Teo Hernández that serves as a travelogue of a visit to Granada.
“Specially created for the Rencontre Danse / Image in Chateauvallon, this film is the result of the encounter, confrontation and then the almost miraculous match between the light and violent camera of Téo HERNANDEZ and the dancer-choreographer Bernardo Montet in the midst of improvisation. A body between sea and sky, the silent presence of the wind, a few birds: the elements of a fundamental mythology transformed into lyrical abstraction.”

The outcome of Hernández’ friendship with the dancer and choreographer Bernardo Montet, this work, ranging from black-and-white to color, is the vertiginous record of a cross-dressing act, or a therapeutic performance on identity. Presented for the first time in Rouen, on May 26th 1987.
