About RISE 

French director Cédric Klapisch (Call my Agent, Potluck, Someone, Somewhere) returns with Rise (En corps) centring on real-life Paris Opera Ballet principal ballerina Marion Barbeau in her first film role alongside Hofesh Shechter and company dancers. 

Rise is the story of Elise, played by Barbeau – ‘mesmerising in motion’ (New York Times) – a classically trained dancer who injures herself during a performance and is told she may never dance again. Her journey of recovery and self-discovery leads her to Hofesh Shechter Company. ‘Beautiful, graceful and funny’ (VDS), Rise encapsulates the emotional and transformational power of contemporary dance and brings the heart of Hofesh Shechter Company to the big screen.
