Synopsis

Beatings, sexual assaults, suicide attempts, drug dependence, teenage pregnancies, and their interruption.

Cut your wings and fly depicts the trials and tribulations of a young girl who is suffocated by a difficult context, and whose goals oscillate between surviving and making everything disappear.

Told through surreal imagery, minimal dialogue, and modern choreography, Cut your wings and fly is a reflection of education, family, gender roles, and mental health in our contemporary society.
