Dance Digital presents ROUTE 

[not every day, but almost]

More Digital Stage

A dancer walks along a sunlit street in Brazil, viewed from behind with both arms raised overhead. Small shops, pedestrians, and parked vehicles line the paved street, while mixed-use buildings, overhead cables, and market stalls create a busy urban backdrop. Visible shop signage includes “Itaipava” and “Peixaria.”

ROUTE follows a winding journey through the streets of Salvador, Brazil, where the everyday gives way to the surreal. Beginning at the São Pedro Clock, the route passes along Rua do Cabeça, through Largo Dois de Julho and into Rua do Meio, revealing moments of wonder hidden within the city’s concrete landscape.

For those who look closely, there’s more than meets the eye and a chance to dance along the way. Not every day, but almost.

ROUTE won Best Film by Young Artists (21 and under) at Dance Digital, Sadler’s Wells’ dance film festival. Dance Digital Presents is a curated selection of films from the festival available for free, released for a time-limited period on Digital Stage.
