Synopsis: What would your emotional body say to you, if you would have decided to cut your links with him in order to survive in a toxic environment ?
Tusalih is a dance film directed by Shaun Bui, in collaboration with Parisian designer Georgie Salama and creative studio Jayah Studio.
It tells the story of the reconciliation of a young woman and her emotional body, interpreted by Stencia Yambogaza and Germain Zambi, combining contemporary dance and Krump.
Many people decide to cut themselves from their emotions, becoming tough and keeping buried inside their feelings.
Director Shaun Bui says that the first step of self healing from our traumas, is to recognize and to listen to what our emotions are saying, to become vulnerable and honest with ourselves.
All the music was composed by GVLVXY a French producers group.
