MILLE ET UNE NUITS BY SOROUR DARABI - TRAILER - 28.06.2024 MONTPELLIER DANSE FESTIVAL

MILLE ET UNE NUITS  هزار و یک  شب
A place emerges, holding us as a whole at the same time as many intimate, social, political fragments. An affective landscape envelops us in the skin of a futuristic fantasy awaiting a belated renaissance. A place where we are not just political concepts, but emotional landscapes that slowly morphs those they look at. Where the skin is as thick as a body itself and as fragile as the liminal of two voices. Where our bodies of rage - our transformative power- create a substance of tear, sweat and voice to quench the earth's thirst.
