When the Fall Comes
Love, Art, Dance and Death
As it interweaves vivid imagery of San Francisco, Argentine tango and poignant interviews, "When the Fall Comes" chronicles how one woman moves through grief by using dance, poetry and a performance piece to illustrate her healing process.
First time producer Adriana Marchione brings a stunning portrait of her personal story and helps us venture into melancholy as well as the joy and reverence that accompanies loss.
"A vulnerable and brave investigation into how one overcomes tragedy. Adriana Marchione courageously leads through example: reliving and retelling the story behind the death of her husband through the arts. This is a documentary that is worth tackling - one that will leave you believing in the healing power of the expression of gratitude no matter what the circumstance." - Jeff Galfer, Actor and Producer
"A testimony to the resilience of the human spirit! Using rich symbolic imagery through dance, music, poetry and natural landscapes, expressive arts therapist Adriana Marchione explores how the expressive arts can be used to heal from grief and loss. Highly recommended for those working with the dying process in medical and therapeutic settings, students learning about the power of the arts, and anyone navigating the journey between death and new life. - Tina Stromsted, Ph.D., Jungian psychoanalyst and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist
"melancholic and elegiac- captures the deep loneliness that can accompany the grieving process, but also the joy, the privilege of witnessing someone's demise."- Joe Goode, Artistic Director of the Joe Goode Performance Group
