About This Movie

So, 'Gira por China' is this intriguing documentary from 2013 that captures the Lausanne ballet’s tour in China, directed by Arantxa Aguirre. The film presents a really fresh perspective, blending a naive yet intelligent tone that feels both intimate and expansive. You get to see the ballet's interaction with the vibrant culture of East Asia, which is pretty fascinating. The pacing allows you to really absorb the atmosphere, while the performers bring a raw energy that feels authentic, without being overly dramatized. There's something about how Aguirre frames their experiences that makes the whole thing quite powerful. It’s a unique look at cultural exchange through the lens of dance.
