This makes more than 20 years that Cédric Klapish is considering making a fictional film around dance. He had even proposed to Aurélie Dupont to play in a film but the project could never materialize.
Then comes the time of confinement which will in fact all accelerate and crystallize. He then directed “Dire merci”, a small collective film with the dancers of the Opera. It’s really this little 4-minute film that will trigger everything. The film goes viral and goes around the world. Seeing this, Bruno Lévy, her producer, said to her: “Now is the time to make your film about dance”…
And here is “En corps” which tells the story Elisa, 26 years old. Great classical dancer, she gets hurt during a show and learns that she will no longer be able to dance. From then on her life will be turned upside down, Elise will have to learn to repair herself…
Between Paris and Brittany, according to encounters and experiences, disappointments and hopes, Elise will get closer to a contemporary dance company. This new way of dancing will allow him to find new momentum and also a new way of life.
