IF IT WERE LOVE

Si c'était de l'amour

Directed by Patric Chiha
France, 2020
Documentary, Avant-Garde, LGBTQ+

Synopsis

1990s rave culture was a chance to let go of oneself. If It Were Love explores such dimension through the eyes of artist Gisèle Vienne: young dancers dissolve into a community on stage, where their bodies move in graceful slow motion. Performance and reality flow together into an artistic whole.

Our take

Oh, how we love being in a crowd of bodies, dancing the night away! Let this hyper-energetic and sensual adaptation of a dance choreography—Gisèle Vienne’s work “Crowd” —transport you to the center of a rave. Tender, emotional, queer, kinetic, and profound: Get lost in the rhythms.
