Metanoia: movement as catharsis, cinema as healing

METANOIA

About the project

Metanoia is a dance short film in development that narrates the stages of romantic grief through movement, light, and a language that speaks beyond words. It is a sensory experience!

It is a visual poem where the body is both question and answer, where dance is catharsis and cinema becomes healing.

This campaign aims to raise funds to produce and film the project in December 2025 in Barcelona.

Your support directly finances the production, the dancers, rehearsals, locations, and the artistic team, allowing this work to exist.

We are not promoting a finished film: we are building it together.

Every contribution makes this creation possible.

Synopsis

METANOIA is a dance short film that explores the emotional journey of a person facing a breakup and a process of internal transformation. Through movement, symbolism, and immersive cinematography, the film portrays a path of inner catharsis: a transition from emotional paralysis to resilience and personal liberation.

The project fuses dance, film, and music to create a sensory and poetic experience that embodies the meaning of Metanoia: a profound change of heart and mind.
