Rara! (1978)
A fifteen-minute documentary record of Haitian Rara — the processional bands and the dancing that travels with them through the streets in festival season.
Rara! is a 1978 dance documentary centred on Global Afro-Diasporic. For dancers, it's a chance to see the style performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.
