Hasta el alba

Horacio Alcalá
España
 - 2021

Behind the scenes we are witnesses to Giselle’s misery: she sees her interior self broken and falling into a lonely and eternal dance that leads her to madness and death. She then descends to the underworld, leaving her soul forever dark in the eternal night.

Horacio Alcalá

Film director and screenwriter born in Guadalajara and based in Madrid. After 7 years working at the Cirque du Soleil, where he filmed the acclaimed documentary ‘Grazing the Sky’ (2013), he began working as a director in different projects that focused on plastic arts and circus narrative. His work has garnered worldwide recognition from prestigious international festivals such as Boston, New York, Tokyo and Palm Springs. His opera prima in fiction, ‘Finlandia’, premiers this fall.
