Heartache
by Iker Karrera & Alberto D. Centeno
Spain
Set in a derelict theater, “Heartache” deploys tensely expressive movement in a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen.
At once kitschy and confrontational, the dancers move with deadpan gazes through tight trios with razor-sharp precision and evocative gestures. Glimpses of private moments and vivid bodily imagery highlight the tension between the individual and society.
words from the filmmaker
Alberto D. Centeno (DOP) and I worked together on the same project a few years ago; the connection was almost immediate. This piece emerges from the need to do something together again. Heartache is a stylistic exercise that reflects our understanding of image and movement.
why we love this film
The vibes, the tension, the imagery, the confetti! A film you can watch again and again.
