Digital HD – Color and B&W – Sound
After having co-signed the comic book Mathilde, danser après tout (Denoël Graphic, 2013) and the performance Qu’est-ce qui nous arrive ?!? (Montpellier Danse, 2013), choreographer Mathilde Monnier and cartoonist François Olislaeger co-sign an animation film in which they are also the main characters. At once a documentary, a dance movie and a choreographic cartoon, Lenz is based on their conversations and makes links between walking and dancing, real and stage, set design and landscape.
An unprecedented way to watch contemporary dance through animated drawings,
supported by the story of an internationally recognized choreographer and the agile lines of François Olislaeger.
