Concrete Moves

Synopsis

Concrete Move is inspired by a childhood memory: the fear triggered by a snake during a school trip to the Mamelles lighthouse in Dakar. Returning to that same hill decades later, I find a coastline transformed by relentless urban expansion. Through dance, archival images, the invocation of memory, and the metaphor of the snake as a city shedding its skin, the film traces a journey through a place where concrete slowly erases memory, nature, and the traces of the past.
