Bad Luck (2025)

Synopsis

Queer, Chechen, Kurdish, four of them with Down Syndrome: a dance collective of disabled and non-disabled performers is about to premiere at a theater festival. Then, of all things, a soloist sprains her foot, putting both the premiere and the collective’s future in jeopardy. Everyone in the ensemble knows what is at stake: the cultural sector is merciless, the clock is ticking, and in no time at all, you’re out of the picture. The dancers must come up with a creative solution rather than sinking into the abyss of personal sensitivities.
