From Rome to Dakar

Overview

From Rome to Dakar follows Nana, a Senegalese woman whose body and language are reshaped through dance memories during her journey from Rome to Dakar. Inspired by Pina Bausch, featuring the voice of Tanya Tagaq, and drawing on the story of Mame Coumba Bang, the film investigates how the human body adapts to overpopulation, immobility, collisions, and extreme heat. Through speculative images, language and sound, it explores the intersection between physical transformation, communication and environmental change in a world marked by rising temperatures.
