A captivating and eclectic audiovisual archive resurrects the story of Jorge Donn, the legendary Argentine dancer who, after being rejected at the Colón Theater Ballet, embarks on a trip to Brussels where, led by Maurice Béjart, he will become the most famous male figure of the dance company Ballet du XXe Siécle. After reaching the top of his career, Donn is the victim of a deadly virus that silently begins to extinguish him, but without knowing how to rest on his laurels, he will continue to act tirelessly until reaching his inevitable end.
A time capsule of the Buenos Aires underground, Listening to God positions Dios as a singular voice against the era’s glossy surface: a fierce, guitar-less trio whose hypnotic bass, savage drums and spoken-poetic vocals mapped the city’s darker corners while the decade’s “party” narrative played on. Built from interviews and concert archives, the documentary argues for the band’s quiet centrality to the ’90s scene—and why their work still resonates now.
