‘Cruising in High Heels’ is a film about two apocalyptic sissies between Bogota, Berlin
and Cartagena. One is a dancer, the other a Filmmaker. What starts as a documentary
about a dancer, transforms slowly into a performance for film. The performances they
create play with the in-between, male female, and the appropriation of spaces and
expectations projected onto them. Jair says to Simon: “Look, my friend Victoria Beckham,
when she has the flu, she puts on high heels, puts on make-up, makes herself look
amazing and the flu goes away. This is achieving such self-knowledge that a flu goes
away with lipstick and high heels.”
