Two Pigeons
Lit by lamps, young men practise an expressive, acrobatic dance they will only unveil in its full glory at a regional contest. The Chhau performers travel to the latter in a wagon full of colourful masks and costumes to preserve their village's honour. They played bit parts in Sakhisona, which won filmmaker Prantik Basu a Tiger Short Award in 2017. His latest film is an impression of daily life in their home town of Bela in eastern India. There he also records the women's activities as a counterpoint to the dancing, which is exclusively for men.
