The Latin American artists travel from country to country, earning their living through breakdance and street performances at traffic lights.
Deeply connected to an underground (diverse) network of dancers, jugglers, and street artists, they reject conventional capitalist ideals and choose to live for (in the spirit) community.
 
Belgrad is in turmoil. While pro-Vulčić demonstrations are taking place in the city center, a dance event is happening simultaneously in the Belgrade port.

…and intertwines this documentary approach with an artistic exploration of contemporary dance practices.

At its core is a multilayered shift in perspective: by employing different vantage points – those of the performers as well as those of the audience – established regimes of seeing are disrupted. The embodied experiences emerging from these positions become directly perceptible, expanding the visual field through a situated, corporeal mode of perception.

Dancing appears as a transnational practice of survival and collective self-organization – a form of social cohesion that operates beyond capitalist logics of value and extraction.
