A HISTORY OF CUBAN DANCE
Virtual Reality project with Chris Milk of Within (VRSE)
SUNDANCE NEW FRONTIER Exhibition
This was director LUCY WALKER's first adventure into Virtual Reality.
Organic, spontaneous, sexy dances progress chronologically through Afro-Cuban Santería rumba, mambo, cha-cha-chá, salsa, breakdancing, and reggaeton, with optional audio tracks reflecting the broader story of Cuban history as revealed in the moves. Palpable and transporting, this live-action virtual reality documentary was filmed on location in Cuba and features Ballet de la Televisión Cubana.
