Don't Say My Name, 29min., UK
Directed by Shobana Jeyasingh, Teresa Griffiths
Claudio Monteverdi’s II Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda – a fierce combat set in the first Crusades between a European knight and a female Saracen warrior – is given a contemporary twist. A group of dancers rehearsing the work in a studio and on tour abroad encounter a stranger who seems to have stepped out of their story but does not want to be in it. Shot in locations in London and Spain, (Don’t) Say My Name is a poetic and layered exploration of otherness, conflict and reconciliation.
