“2M/Solitudes” is a poetic cine-dance meditation, exploring internal states resulting from isolation and the absence of others. Originally inspired by experiences related to the global pandemic, the film dives into the daily life of four female characters facing different challenges related to being alone and kept apart from others. Immersed in their own colorful, but lonely worlds, eventually, they find a way to transcend solitude, overcome isolation, and reconnect in new unexpected ways.

Imagined and produced by a team of exceptional creatives, the five scenes of the film evoke states of agitation, insecurity, melancholy, and despair, counterbalanced by moments of hope, acceptance, resilience, and connection. Roger Sinha’s powerful choreographies and Damian Siqueiros’s exquisite visual universe are accompanied here by a soundtrack composed and performed by a trio of exceptional musicians: Tim Brady on electric guitar, Helmut Lipsky on violin, and Shawn Mativetsky on Indian tabla and percussions. Each scene is introduced by a poem recited by an invisible voice bearing witness to the intensity and depth of the characters’ inner experiences.

As the film progresses, the four dancers eventually cross paths in a large white open space, a sign of transformation and a new beginning. They wear square skirt-like structures, attached to their waists, representing the socially defined shape of their personal spaces. Keeping the distance, but connecting symbolically, they spin and dance in their square skirts like modern dervishes reaching out and celebrating their renewed capacity for connection.
