A contemporary dance film depicting the mistreatment of homosexuals during the Second World War, Kays Mejri's Der Untermensch is a unique artistic statement, buoyed by Simon Vermeulen's nuanced choreography and evocative physical presence. Set against minimalistic backdrops to a hypnotizing original score, this potent piece speaks to the ongoing fight for self-expression.
