Working Dancers

In Buenos Aires a group of acclaimed dancers create the first Contemporary National Company of Dance under their collective leadership. This is the story of four talented dancers, Ernesto, Bettina, Victoria and Pablo, along six years of their journey. They expose their dreams and contradictions as dancers, individuals and members of a Company that is founded on collective decision-making. We follow their lives, we attend their rehearsals and performances in the emblematic National Library building as well as their premiere and backstage in the historical National Theatre of Cervantes. We observe the fulfillment of the entire dance community’s biggest dream: the public demand for a National Dance Law.
