One Million Steps / Eva Stotz
screening + discussion
Synopsis:
"A tap dancer performs while, elsewhere, people flee from tear gas fired by the police. Two distant worlds—until an unexpected opening tears open in the ground, right in front of the dancer. She jumps. And lands in the heart of the social protests in Istanbul.
There, amid voices, smoke, and resistance, the dancer witnesses the struggle for individual freedom and for dignified living spaces. Her moving body then becomes more than dance: it transforms into a political gesture, an act of solidarity, a shared rhythm of resistance."
In these times when we feel reality unraveling before our eyes—amid wars, police violence, the rise of the far right, isolation, and fear—we ask ourselves: what can a body do? What can art do? How do we continue to move with one another?
We invite you to come watch this film with us, and afterward, we’ll make space to share thoughts, doubts, feelings, and questions. More than just a screening, we want a gathering.
See you soon!
