The Other Body – Dance and taboo in São Paulo
Director: Gerhard Schick
Choreography: Gerda König
Pproduction: WDR, Goethe-Institut
Germany 2007, 68 Min.



At the invitation of Goethe-Institut, the Cologne based choreographer Gerda König traveled to São Paulo with several members of her dance company DIN A 13. The aim of the project was to establish a new mixed-abled dance company. The film shows the artistic process involved in the creation of a new work which questions the audience´s received perceptions of physical normality by confronting them with a variety of images – some beautiful, some disturbing.
