Some joy in this struggle

22' 2017
dir.: Jean-Gabriel Périot

Female choral singing as a form of resistance to reality and a way to overcome isolation.  

An experimental director who is a favorite of WATCH DOCS, portrays women for whom choral singing is a form of resistance against an oppressing reality and a way out of isolation. Thierry Escaich’s composition for Périot's lyrics is performed by the protagonists and musicians from the Paris Opera.
