sing the sand into pearls

Raquel Claudino

Directed by Raquel Claudino, a contemporary dance short film produced in the UK and Portugal

Embraced in a dance of rebellion, Sing The Sand Into Pearls tells the story of three women who escape from a self-centered society and celebrate genuinity in a hideaway ritual. Raquel Claudino debuts in a contemporary dance film, exploring the raw beauty of the performers across a city charged with history and mysticism. Set in Lisbon, a metropolis with flaws, they narrate their journey through a delicate dance that brings us all to a parallel sphere. An experimental project where international artists collaborate with the director to create a subtle but nonetheless daring story.
