The Space in Back of You

A Film by Richard Rutkowski

In this poignant documentary, the life of the innovative, radical Japanese dancer and choreographer Suzushi Hanayagi is examined with performing arts legend Robert Wilson, whose 20-year collaboration with Hanayagi has been an enduring influence on his work. After losing touch and upon finding her suffering from Alzheimer’s, Wilson creates a tribute to their artistic partnership – the final collaboration between a great teacher and her renowned student.

Followed by a post-screening discussion with the director.
