Made with the artist Gery Georgieva, the film contrasts a chalga (Eastern European pop music) nightclub and a communist monument from her native country Bulgaria – both locations being sites of contested national identity and history.
Gery Gerogieva performs a remixed folk song and dances between these two locations as they begin to uncanilly merge around here.
Made in collaboration with Gery Georgieva. Commissioned by Frieze Film and Channel 4 Random Acts.
