Once Again (for the very first time)
Once Again (for the very first time)
DeRay, a legendary street dancer, falls from the sky to land on the doorstep of his true love, the poet Naima. Boaz Yakin’s beautifully surreal film fuses rap, poetry, dance, and bold visuals to create a dreamlike cinematic fantasy exploring the need to reinvent oneself, creatively and romantically, throughout our lives.
Once Again showcases a multitalented cast and crew including dynamic performances by Jeroboam Bozeman, a primo dancer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and Mecca “Meccamorphosis” Verdell, award winning spoken word poet, with astonishing acrobatic choreography by legendary street dancer and choreographer Rennie Harris.
