Ode Marítima (Naval Ode) — Fu Le
Inspired by Fernando Pessoa's poem Ode Marítima, this dance film explores distance, longing, and separation through a mysterious, suspended duet that swells with nostalgic desire.
Fu Le is an award winning filmmaker and choreographer in the Tetrapode dance company in France. Graduated in sculpture at the Art Crafts National School in Paris, he then trained in physical theater and in contemporary dance in Argentina, Belgium and Switzerland. He pursued recently his research in Taiwan, questioning social issues linked with urbanization. Fu Le produced a dozen of dance films awarded worldwide. He founded in 2020 the Tetralab - international screendance laboratory. Fu Le is now evolving on the edge between dance, sculpture and video, and brings visual arts to the intimacy of bodily sensations. His cinematographic approach is presently based on single shot practice, and how to manage the choreography of the camera itself.
