Co-produced by Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema, Frequent Flyers® Aerial Dance and Dairy Arts Center, this special screening within the 2026 Aerial Dance Festival will ignite the imagination and tickle the senses. Three Canadian films re-envision the boundaries of dance through cirque, contortion, body choir, and beyond, telling fables, confronting climate change, and expressing the idea that on this collective journey, our strength resides in living in harmony with the people and environments around us.
