MANHUNT
a contemporary dance film written and choreographed by Anne Sofie Johannessen.
Filmed at Baroniet in Rosendal, Norway.
In Manhunt we are presented with extreme emotions of hate and jalousy and the wish to harm others. Thoughts that are tabu in our everyday life, presented in historical settings and inhibiting costumes, obstructing the dancers movements. Trapped in their own world full of hate and envy like chickens they peck on the weakest, we find three women capable of as much harm as men.
