UNTIL THE BEGINNING directed by Alesandra Seutin (Artistic Director École des Sables, Senegal) and Stephanie Thiersch (Artistic Director MOUVOIR, Germany), both from different artistic and cultural realms, weave a choreographic tapestry that poses questions, shakes things up and challenges. The artists embark on a journey to deconstruct the concept of “at home” in an alternation of encounters, ruptures and new beginnings. In this mesh of transcultural movement they explore the possibilities of a shared groove.

Broadcast on the German television channel WDR, this featurette explores the philosophy behind the production.
