ORA

A cell divides itself. From this first mass of light, six luminous bodies soon emerge. They evolve in a world they are discovering – explorers lit by their internal light, leaving behind traces of the fire that animates them. ORA is a stunning meeting of the artistic worlds of choreographer Jose Navas and filmmaker Philippe Baylaucq, a dance allegory inspired by Darwin’s theory of evolution and the myths of Narcissus and Prometheus. It is the first film to use 3D thermal imaging, producing visuals unlike anything ever seen: the luminous variations of body heat seen on skin, bodies emitting a multitude of colors, a space filled with movement that transforms it. ORA is dance transformed by cinema – a completely unique film experience.
