Cultural Displacement on Vimeo

from Luis M. Jara

This short film looks to explore the most characteristic and common feelings which migrants have to go through (limbo, identity, immigration and adaptation) whilst trying to integrate into a new system and culture, which in this case it is to become a Londoner.

We used contemporary dance as it is one of our passions and to also demonstrate these feelings in a non-verbal manner, combining cultures, using different attires with distinct fabric, music styles and dance genres, performed by international professionals and also by means of dance improvisation combined with planned choreography, all set and developed by migrants in London.
