“The art was telling me that things had to change. And they had to change big.” (Trey McIntyre)

In 2014, after 10 years of building his innovative and wildly successful dance company in Boise, Idaho, Trey McIntyre shut it down. The sudden and mysterious end to Trey McIntyre Project is the backdrop to this introspective documentary, made by the choreographer himself. But it’s no sob story. As McIntyre explains: “The point of life is to get rid of the you that you invented so you can get back to being who you are.” Featuring some of the TMP’s best-known work, including the New Orleans-inspired “Ma Maison”; “Mercury Half Life,” set to the vocals of Queen’s Freddie Mercury; and “Bad Winter,” an ode to autonomy and dependency in love, Gravity Hero takes us through the process of creating a vital home for dance in the heartland, sending it out into the world, and letting it go.
