A BODY OF ONE’S OWN

Elise Argaud, 48 and living in Marseille, has Parkinson's disease. She continues to practice contemporary dance, embarked by my side on the international tour of a show I produce. I decide to film her. As she talks to me about her relationship with her body, with others and with her environment, filming becomes an act of recognition of a gesture that invites us to unravel time, and of a language that finds a way to thwart power structures. When Elise isn't dancing, she's moving in a unique way, in a kind of dance, very gently. As she refuses the treatment because of its side-effects, the doctors sermons her. My camera composes with Elise's rhythm, with the movement of her thoughts, accompanying and supporting throughout the film the constant reinvention of her way of being part of the world and fighting against illness.
