Gabriella Iacono and Gregory Grosjean trace a history of dance through iconic choreographies that they recreate using only their hands. A ballet for two bodies and four hands, with miniature scenographies filmed live and projected on a large screen, consisting of twelve frames. In each frame, the hands dance key works by 20th-century choreographers such as Vaslav Nijinsky, Maurice Béjart, Pina Bausch or Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, and explore the great stages from Broadway to Paris, from Brussels to Harlem,  including ballet, musicals, the dance marathons of the 1930s, rock, contemporary dance or hip-hop. A fascinating journey through dance, cinema and world history at your fingertips. — madebyhands
