The Art of Biting Your Tongue

Original title: Klusēšanas māksla
Participated in: MIDPOINT Feature Launch 2024
Country: Latvia

Ruta (31), an Amsterdam-based Latvian movement artist, is invited to work together with Andra (75), the leader of the children folk-dance ensemble Ruta used to attend.

Creating a choreography for the woman who simultaneously inspires fear and awe in Ruta seems risky, but the up-and-coming artist cannot resist the tantalizing offer.

Returning to her home town Riga, Ruta experiences abrupt success with folk-dance under the wings of Andra. Yet as she immerses herself in the environment of her childhood, long-buried resentments resurface. Before she knows it, Ruta finds herself caught up in Andra's power games and torn between her mentor and her mother.
