Synopsis:
Nation’s Legacy of Severance is the film adaptation of the original 2010 choreography by artists Zohar Melinek and Mary St-Amand Williamson. The Video-Dance follows two characters in their journey through transient states of dispossession and exile, isolation and madness in a politically unstable environment. The film addresses national and communal struggles of self-determination and displacement. The characters pass through states of dispossession and exile evoking an unstable psychological and physical trial, a conflicted shared state: one of liberation and loss. They represent the result of a defeated society, lacking stability.
