Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb Vs. Gravity
Not just a choreographer, Elizabeth Streb is a wildly
extreme action architect. Born to Fly: Elizabeth Streb
vs. Gravity traces the evolution of Streb’s movement
philosophy as she pushes herself and her dancers from
the ground, to the wall, to the sky. Guided by her theory
of movement—to walk on walls, dive through glass,
move so fast you disappear and…fly; the film asks: Can
adrenaline be a form of medicine? When does movement
become art? Why be a part of it? Wrestling with these
questions, and more, Born to Fly offers an exhilarating
tale of the necessity of art, inspiring audiences hungry
for a more tactile and fierce existence in the world.
