Malou Airaudo & Germaine Acogny - No Space for Age

What is it like to be a professional dancer in your 70s? Two icons of the dance world Malou Airaudo and Germaine Acogny share the stage in this fly on the wall documentary proving that dance has no age limit. Against the picturesque backdrop of Spoleto, Italy, the film captures Malou and Germaine performing their duet in the final destination on an extensive international tour, alongside a company of 38 African dancers. French-born Malou was a professional ballet dancer when she met Pina Bausch in New York in 1973. Bausch invited her to join Tanztheater Wuppertal, in Germany where Malou became one of the key figures of the ensemble. Considered as the Mother of Contemporary African dance, Germaine, was born in Benin, but grew up in Senegal where she founded an international dance school in Senegal, (the ECOLE DES SABLES) where they teach her famous ‘Acogny’ technique. This is a film that celebrates their incredible legacy and the power of dance to transcend generations and cultures.
