Watch on MINUTE SHORTS
Beyond Desire is an experimental short about female desire, shame and betrayal. Drawing from a highly personal experience we follow a vulnerable young woman experiencing a breakdown via a collision of conflicting relationships and gender power struggles.
Using physicality, haunting sound design and immersive camera work as vessels for intimate, multi-layered and unerringly contemporary story telling. Our lead finds herself on a repeating loop, the end is the start as she oscillates between what was and what is. Is she unable to escape her trauma and her psychological suffocation or patterning? The movement echoes the work of Pina Bausch, and in doing so draws links to the expression of the feminist landscape of emotions and gender conflicts that we continue to work through.
The piece is choreographed by the brilliant Katya Bourvis, who recently won awards for her film MYRRHA. The score is by the enigmatic Alex Stolze. Cinematography is by the acclaimed Oscar Oldershaw.
