In Martinique, a psychiatric daycare hospital welcomes a young artist-researcher to lead Bèlè dance and music workshops. Mantjé Tonbé Sé Viv (Dancing the Stumble) crafts an intimate dialogue between the filmmaker’s inner questions, the words of those who learn to live with a psychiatric diagnosis, and the ancestral energy of Bèlè.
A Q&A with Wally Fall will follow the screening.
