Over My Dead Body

Dave St-Pierre has cystic fibrosis and urgently needs two new lungs or he will be dead in 24 months time. Dave St-Pierre is a world famous dancer choreographer who provokes audiences with his naked, in your face physicality. Brigitte Poupart, his confidante and collaborator follows St-Pierre’s wait for a lifesaving organ donation and documents his exhaustion, sorrow, doubt and increasing isolation as well as their closeness, his vulnerability and his will to live. Between choreography and an organ transplant. A dance on the edge of an abyss – and not just metaphorically. An emotional and aesthetically compelling piece of work! (DOK.fest München)
