Whipping Hair! (Bate Cabelo!)
When Márcia Pantera stepped onto the stage of São Paulo’s iconic nightclub Nostromondo in 1990 and unveiled a dance move of her own creation, a whirlwind of body and head that sent her long hair into a mesmerizing vortex, she had no idea she was forging a symbol that would become central to queer culture in Brazil. Through intimate interviews and archival footage, the film traces its rise from a bold Brazilian expression to a global phenomenon.
