Break A Leg

Overview

An experimental short film exploring obsession, control, and artistic identity. Inspired by the psychological intensity of Black Swan, this piece follows a ballet dancer trapped within her own performance. As she moves in reverse to the music, her body appears detached from her will — choreography becoming compulsion. What begins as discipline slowly transforms into something darker: a loss of control where art overtakes the artist. Through minimal dialogue and a focus on movement, light, and rhythm, the film examines the cost of perfection and the fragile line between dedication and self-destruction.
