Burka Boogie Woogie

  • 5'

  • 2005
The burka is not only an item of clothing, but has also become a symbol for the reprehensible nature of the orthodox Islamic faith: anonymity, submission and oppression of women. In this short graphic dance film, however, the burka has a life of its own and plays with fear of Islam.
