Minotaur

Minotaur features Anna Halprin, an influential figure in postmodern dance, who transforms the ancient myth into a contemporary performance. The film captures the complex relationship between bodies and objects, showcasing how they intertwine in a continuous narrative.

The work contrasts traditional gender dynamics, reinterpreting the original tale where the half-man, half-bull figure embodies power over a nymph. Halprin's version flips this narrative, allowing the female character to reclaim agency and achieve a melancholic triumph over her captor.

Accompanied by a score from Matmos, the film includes unique sounds created from Rodin's sculptures, enhancing the physicality represented on screen. This blend of media invites viewers to experience the labyrinthine transformations of the Minotaur legend in a new light.
