The Lady in Black plot
The work of the Flemish choreographer Ann van den Broek is very personal. In her intense choreographies she processes extreme experiences and emotions. Her method is uncompromising. She demands unconditional dedication from herself, but also from her dancers. It leads to innovative and very successful dance performances, but at the same time to a complex love-hate relationship with the people around her. In The Lady in Black, director Lisa Boerstra shows how closely Ann herself is interwoven with the choreographies and brings the artist's life and work together in a new experience. The film tours with Ann and her dancers through new creations, many theaters, physical attrition, black abyss and red hot passion. Intense in everything.
