FABULOUS & THE CHUNTA
- 109 mins
Familiar notions of gender roles and performance are challenged and spectacularly reimagined in this pair of dance-based films from Latin America. In Audrey Jean-Baptiste’s Fabulous, transgender dancer Lasseindra Ninja returns to her home in French Guiana to empower the local LGBTQ community through the art of voguing, while Genevieve Roudane’s The Chunta follows two gender-bending gangs of dancers in a small Mexico town facing off in a struggle between queer identity and powerful traditions.
