🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The directors construct the film as an active participant in the performance, relying on frenetic handheld camerawork to dismantle the stage's fourth wall. It explores the raw, physical language of experimental theater, tracing how ancient myth erupts through the bodies of modern performers.
Those who tire of conventional narrative will find a visceral document of collective ecstasy. What lingers after is the sensation of having witnessed a dangerous and singular rite. — MovieFinder Editorial
