About this title
A selection from the nine-part dance film spectacular “Up On High,” “The Nelken Line” is a heartfelt rendition of Pina Bausch’s looping, gestural choreography by a colorful assemblage of queer artists. Tracing high along a Bay Area hillside, this intergenerational cast of QTBIPOC artists, drag performers, and activists soars into futurism, queer legacy, and embodied ancestry.
