"A genre-bending documentary using dance and physicality to explore themes of youthfulness, fear, regret and aging. The star of the show is New York. The perspectives of elderly citizens of NYC are interpreted physically by a younger generation. The words come from real-life interviews recorded with a diverse selection of aging New Yorkers. Each dancer was given a voice to interpret (without ever meeting the owner of that voice) - through dance, movement, emotive states and space. The film focuses on our commonalities as opposed to our differences, to address an age of echo chambers, divisive rhetoric and a deepening chasm between generations. It reframes what it means to listen to our elders.
