Shiraz

Armin Hokmi, an Iranian choreographer based in Berlin and Oslo, answers these questions with intelligence and flair in Shiraz. It is almost like watching a sunrise or sunset: over and over again, this mysterious, captivating work reveals further nuances for the viewer to appreciate.

Six performers weave a pattern of movements, coiling and uncoiling to the pulsating beat of a capturing soundtrack. They use minimal gestures, performed with slowness and subtlety. While moving in unison, they also express their singularities, tracing fluid trajectories that bring them together in ephemeral constellations—and as if by magic, the audience is immersed in another place and time.
