Kingdom of Dance - Tymoteusz Ley and Agnieszka Stach in Jordan

A film inspired by Nizar Qabbani’s poem “Words“ “He tells me, when he dances with me, Words are not like other words He takes me, from under my arms He plants me, in a distant cloud And the black rain in my eyes Falls in torrents, torrents He carries me with him, he carries me To an evening of rosy balconies And I am like a child in his hands Like a feather carried by the wind He gives me sun, he gives me summer and flocks of swallows He tells me that I am his treasure And that I am equal to thousands of stars And that I am treasure, and that I am more beautiful painting he has ever seen He tells me things that make me dizzy that make me forget the dance floor and the steps Words…which overturn my history which make me a woman…in seconds He builds castles of fantasies In which I live …for seconds… And I return…I return to my table Nothing with me… Nothing with me…except words Words are not like other words“ Nizar Qabbani Performing: Agnieszka Stach and Tymoteusz Ley cinematography: Damian Bartoszek postprodu
