Marco Berrettini – Jiddu

70 minutes

From Folk Dance to?

© *Melk Prod.

Jiddu is the story of a Bavarian folk dance troupe. Lacking success, they decide to diversify and go global. Little by little, the troupe begins to borrow, or even steal, dance steps from other countries and different cultures. But this artistic change, ethically speaking, is not well received by all the dancers. Their problems of conscience are expressed and quickly turn into a dispute. In the middle of the biggest argument the troupe has ever experienced, a brass band suddenly arrives on stage and plays a few songs, before disappearing. Will our Bavarians pick up where they left off? Or is it time to make peace and restart their dance ?
