Guy Weizman - Before/After

2021· 54 min★ 7.1·

Guy Weizman is an Israeli/Moroccan theater director and choreographer leading a group of international performers. His creative struggles come to light while working on his latest project: BEFORE/AFTER. A force of creation and (self) destruction is laid bare, while we see his persona reflected in his art - or is it the other way around? Can the group keep up with Guy's intuitive way of working? As the influence of the relationship the director has with his mother becomes more apparent, a metaphorical virus slowly comes to life, while in the real world the premiere is threatened with a virus of its own: COVID-19. In a documentary that blurs the lines between performance and reality we see how this threat may or may not be part of his end game. Creating a world from nothing is harder than it seems.
