Before We Go

director: JORGE LEÒN
82 minutes I BELGIUM

Meg Stuart, Benoît Lachambre and Simone Aughterlony, dancers and choreographers, meet Lidia, Michel and Noël, with already weakened bodies. They are all about to have a unique experience, in the sumptuous setting of the Opéra de la Monnaie.

In an unexpected, physical and lyrical way, BEFORE WE GO lifts the veil on a taboo subject – the end of life – conjuring up all the arts within a genuine tribute to life and human frailty.
