Complementing and adding to the festival is the documentary film Dancing Free by Elettra Fiumi which describes the making of this first edition and which, once filming has been completed, will be participating in leading international film festivals.
From its title, the project Dancing Free suggests the relationship between film and the dance, the representation of a utopia on film, seeking perfect movement and freedom. The same theme is at the heart of the first edition of the Lugano Dance Project towards which artists strive ceaslessly. To achieve this, Elettra Fiumi set out on a journey of exploration that lasted over a year and took her around the world where she observed, documented and interviewed three choreographers while they were preparing their performances for the LAC stage: Virginie Brunelle, Annie Hanauer and Lea Moro.
