Short Film (16min)

Sundari and Pau(la) met on a concrete island in The Netherlands -northern Europe- during the lock down in 2020. Running away from the precariousness, homophobia/transphobia and war from their countries of origin they found themselves mourning and raging the chronic alienation and dislocation they feel as queer displaced migrants.

Together they plotted to reconnect to the power of art as a an ancestral tool of resilience and resistance, as the legacy that vindicates their bodies and their digna rabia (dignify rage) in this nordic neo-colonial decay. Moving and sounding their bodies split, multiply as they travel between worlds, between histories, realities, yearnings and migrant (i)legal statuses.

A no-man's place, a limb, a shout, a hallucination that gets revealed.
