SEE THE MAN
José Miguel Jiménez | Irland, Schweden 2017 | 43 Min. | OmeU
Eben noch dribbeln die gestählten Männerleiber über den Heimrasen des Östersund Fotbollsklubb und halten Sekt-getränkte Siegestänze in der Garderobe ab – man hat soeben den Aufstieg in die erste Divison der Schwedischen Liga geschafft – schon tänzeln sie, erst etwas holprig, dann nahezu anmutig, zu Tchaikovskys Melodien. Wie das zusammen geht, verrät dieser Einblick in die Arbeit des multikulturellen Vereins, der das Team vor die Herausforderung stellt, im Rahmen einer umfassenden Kulturinitiative eine Tanzperformance zu erarbeiten. Mut zeigen, Schwäche zulassen, sich auf Neues einlassen – erfrischend neue Männlichkeiten!
