Director by Aleksandr M. Vinogradov | Canada | 2020 | 91 Minutes | Documentary | In English, French and Dutch with English Subtitles

Eleven naked men audition, rehearse and perform for the premiere of
master Belgian choreographer Thierry Smits’s new contemporary dance
piece Anima Ardens. Mixing intimate rehearsal footage with extensive
and breathtaking dance sequences, BARE follows the choreographer and
his team as they work to explore difficult, often taboo subjects through
nudity and dance. In this bold exploration of artistic conflict, gender,
and sexuality the one constant is the conceit that the body is the last
bastion of personal freedom.
