- A WAY TO B is a portrait of the flamboyant dance group Liant la Troca, of which some of the performers have a physical disability. Fluently merging documentary and dance into each other, the hybrid film is an ode to zest for life and love.
- A WAY TO B is a dance portrait of several members of the flamboyant, Catalan dance collective Liant la Troca, led by dancer and choreographer Jordi Cortès Molina. The film's hybrid style, in which documentary and dance continually merge and diverge, follows several of the group's dancers as they shape their individual stories in performances. These dancers have physical disabilities: one walks in a steel corset, another is spastic. some performers are in wheelchairs, one has one leg, another has no legs at all, is blind or sees a little less every day. Sensual, exuberant and provocative choreographs alternate in the theatre, a square, a forest, a living room. at the same time, the dancers give candid insights into the challenges of everyday existence. Constructed as an autumn day in and around Barcelona, A WAY TO B offers an unusual look at human resilience and love.
"We create a space where everybody feels equal to everybody, knowing that we all are different, and we try to change the point of view of society. To achieve that, it's a long way"- Jordi Cortès Molina
The collective Liant La Troca calls for dialogue between different bodies, generations, experience in life and in perceptions of reality, through dance, art, film. It's not about to be perfect or imperfect, beautiful or ugly. It's about to be different, a celebration diversity.- Jordi Cortès Molina
Jos de Putter has been making documentaries since 1993. Clara van Gool made her first film in 1988. Since they met in 1998 - and married soon after - they have been working together on different projects, but A WAY TO B is their first co-directed feature length work.
