Sweeping Beauty
Skurende Skønhed
With humour and solidarity, this short film ballet explores the movements and gestures that make up an important social act in southern Spain: women at work cleaning their house fronts on a hot, summer morning. Set to a piece from the classical ballet ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ and filmed in the village of Marinaleda, ‘Sweeping Beauty’ transforms domestic labour into a dance of solidarity and recognition.
