The “new normal” is a sociological term defining a situation emerging in the wake of change. The film reacts to the current state of affairs in a broad metaphorical focus, anticipating in its own way the new normal we are approaching as hope, opportunity and transformation.
Everything proceeds as metaphor. We do not tell a story, nor do we show specific descriptive situations and relations. Everything is in motion – the dancers, the space, the camera. Organic and inorganic matter blends. We seek the limits of stylisation and realism.
Transformation results from inner seeking and struggle, in which a person transcends himself /herself and acquires a new set of dispositions.
New Normal is hope.
