In Search of the Invisible People is a “danceumentary” that traces the social revolution of the 80′s to the censorship of today through the underground house music dance scene. Blending video, vogueing, and spoken word, this work confronts the marginalization of a generation, as well as the loss and subsequent relegation of an electrifying musical genre and the people who made that music.
