Cataloging

There are professional women and house wives; they're married, widowed, or divorced. They´re all “girls” between 47 and 81 years old joined by their spirit, of course, but mostly united by Elsa, who at 87 is still going through one of the peaks of her artistic life.

Inspired by the work of Pina Bausch, Elsa directs the 40/90 ballet accompanied always by her walking stick. She does almost everything (choreography, costumes, and lighting) in rehearsals that go over for months searching for some kind of perfection, but also something even more vital: passion.
