In Play Serious director T.M. Rives follows the Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman who for the first time collaborates with the dancers of the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet for the performance Play. Play Serious shows the intensive work process, full of adversity and doubt, of a breathtaking performance of this talented choreographer. 

Beforehand we present the short dance film Ekman's Concise Guide to Natural Movement by Ekman and Rives, which they created in the San Francisco Dance Film Festival’s Co-Laboratory.
