Beauty is pain – at least in the world of Dance. WHAT WENT DOWN takes a humorous and irreverent approach to unpacking ideas of suffering in pursuit of physical virtuosity. A collaboration between choreographer Peter Carpenter and filmmaker Danièle Wilmouth, WHAT WENT DOWN features a group of mid-career dancers who navigate the tense relationship between their chronically injured bodies and the barked orders of an uncompromising film director. Exposing the strenuous labor of the cinematic process both in front of and behind the camera, WHAT WENT DOWN devolves from constant action to profound inaction… all for you!
