ATCBP
5'10, FI/RU, 2018
Film by Kati Kallio in collaboration with Minoga DC
ATCBP is a film version from performance ATCBP (And This Could be Possible?). Original performance (about 30 min) is allusion to the well-known productions made in the 90s in Russia. The performance “ATCBP” is another call of the author, choreographer Ilya Manilov, to himself. Placing himself in the most severe framework of working at the limit of his abilities, the choreographer is trying to expand the boundaries of his artistic limits. He wants to tell an old story with a new language, where dance is just one of the means of expressiveness.
