DANCING ABDULLAH

DANCING ABDULLAH

Germany 2019. Director: Marco Giacopuzzi. 26 Min.

ABDULLAH DANCESCONSTANTLY AND NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY: IN THE PAST IN SYRIA, NOW IN FRANKFURT, AND NEXT AT THE STREETDANCE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.  

Although 10-year-old Abdullah has a European pass­port, he often thinks of Syria. In Syria, Abdullah says, peo­p­le danced ever­y­whe­re. Seven years ago, he fled to Germany with his fami­ly to escape the war. Today, when he hears music, he must dance. He dances “street dance” while doing his home­work, in the kit­chen and in the dance stu­dio. Sometimes he hears stu­pid comm­ents about boys who dance — but Abdullah is beco­ming more and more self-con­fi­dent. Now he has even qua­li­fied for the world cham­pi­on­ship
