SYNOPSIS
"I was invited by Estúdios Victor Córdon to explore Iran and its culture through the creation of a piece to be presented within the framework of the OUTROS MUNDOS program. I approached the invitation as a challenge to connect with Persian culture, allowing me to explore and celebrate its richness.
I want the piece to combine charm and contemplation based on an artistic experience anchored in the contributions of the Iranian diaspora rooted in our country. I aim to pave the thematic path of the piece by compiling individual visions carrying references, suggestions, and avenues for study. _ I intend to explore different styles of traditional Iranian dance, reinterpreted by myself and the collaborators of this creation in light of contemporary dance. The focus is on the female universe, with Iranian poetry and music, among other elements, serving as integrative and inspiring components._
I do not seek to encompass the vastness of Persian culture, nor do I have any pretension to represent it—an impossible and undesirable task for someone approaching a vast and complex reality for the first time. I propose a subjective, animated vision fuelled by the desire to promote encounters and build cultural bridges. A curious and interested gaze toward a reality very different from our own. A space for dialogue and reflection on aspects of everyday life, freedom, and the cultural diversity that we must defend and celebrate in the current global context."
