The dance film „ A State of Being“ by Linda Schirmer reflects on the strong bond between a mother and her newborn. Especially the first weeks of this unique duo are marked by reclusiveness as the focus is put entirely on this microcosmic relationship. The radius of action is reduced to a minimum, yet at the same time, this limitation opens up a new space for improvisational structures which form the basis for this contemporay dance project.
