Backstage

The narrative centers on Aida, a member of a Tunisian contemporary dance troupe. During a performance in a small town in the Middle Atlas, she has a provocative encounter with her stage partner, Hedi, which results in an injury that sets off a chain of events. The film unfolds over a long night as Aida and Hedi navigate through a forest to reach a doctor in the next village.

With a cast featuring Afef Ben Mahmoud, Sondos Belhassen, and Saleh Bakri, Backstage offers an intimate look at the intersection of passion and injury in the world of dance. Directed by a team from Iota Production, Lycia Productions, Mésanges Films, and Metafora Production, this film provides a unique cultural perspective that may resonate with collectors interested in global cinema and contemporary themes in art and performance.
