Description

Guided by Kim Maeja(金梅子), a leading figure of contemporary Korean dance active on the international stage, this documentary traces the life of dancer Choi Seung-hee(崔承喜), whose fate was shaped by the turbulence of her era. Born in Korea under Japanese colonial rule, Choi studied modern dance under Baku Ishii(石井漠) and gained acclaim through performances in Japan and the West during the 1930s, before disappearing from public view in the mid-1960s.
