Trailer Zero Degrees

UK | 2008 | 66' | Film
Acclaimed duet by Akram Khan and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui with eerie silicone body doubles by sculptor Antony Gormley, and striking music by Nitin Sawhney. Entwined within the dance are three spoken episodes that tell the story of a train journey across the Indian/Bangladeshi border, beginning with the alarm generated by a potentially lost passport and culminating with the unnoticed death of a fellow passenger. The passport as a metaphor for existence, the loss of which provides the transitional point between being someone or no-one; and 'zero degrees' is the unseen moment, the transitional point that separates life from death.
