Be Vardų, Be Kojų

“Be Vardų, Be Kojų,” meaning ‘without names, without legs,’ is an experimental, animated, dance film that investigates queer movement in Lithuanian folk dance. Using photograms made from scanning dancers performing specific gendered folk dance steps, the film depicts bodies that don’t conform to earthly physics, boundaries, and rules and that act instead as disruptive agents. “Be Vardų, Be Kojų,” meaning ‘without names, without legs,’ is an experimental, animated, dance film that investigates queer movement in Lithuanian folk dance.
