SFDFF 2025 | Don’t Put Me in a Box: Sidi Larbi Cherkoui
November 7 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
$20 – $40Step inside the singular creative world of choreographer, visionary, and cultural shapeshifter Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Don’t Put Me in a Box is an intimate documentary that follows Cherkaoui across two years and three continents as he blurs borders between traditions, aesthetics, and identities. From Sufi poetry to cyberpunk spectacle, the film reveals how Cherkaoui’s Flemish-Moroccan heritage and artistic curiosity converge in groundbreaking work. Offering glimpses of rehearsal processes, sketchbooks, and social media posts, the film is as layered and genre-bending as the artist himself.
The image shows a group of people in a spacious room with a white ceiling featuring rectangular panels and lights. In the foreground, a person stands with arms crossed in front, wearing a light gray… sweatshirt and light-colored pants. Behind, six individuals stand in a line, each with arms similarly crossed, wearing casual attire in various colors. The setting appears to be a rehearsal or practice, given the relaxed postures and focused expressions.
