Synopsis
Using as base Thomas Edison’s 1894 filming of the Sioux American Indian ‘Ghost Dance’, the piece explores dance as a form of resistance against the imposition of foreign powers, using footage of the Sioux dancing against the white settlers in North America and protest dances in other locations including Gaza, South Africa and Peru.
