What Remains the Dernière (behind the scenes documentary)

by
Zoë Demoustier

Year: 2025

This is the dernière, the final performance of Zoë Demoustier's dance piece What Remains. Commissioned to document the full story of the evening, I moved both in front of and behind the stage, following the group and its dynamics from the last rehearsal to the final bow. What you see here is not just a record of a performance but a portrait of a company at the end of something: the particular atmosphere of a last night that everyone in the room knows will not come again.
