Akiles / Niloufar Shahisavandi + Solmaz Sajadieh:
The Parallel Side of The Road / La Terre de L'Autre

AKILES

The Parallel Side of The Road

Akiles theoretically and practically examines present day religious rituals and their dance practices and combines contemporary dance and spirituality. Even his own experiences as a refugee during the past four years flow into the project.

Niloufar Shahisavandi + SOLMAZ SAJADIEH

La Terre de L'Autre

Shahisavandi and Sajadieh share their Iranian origins, their passion for contemporary dance and ethnology. Accompanied by Mohammad Reza Mortazavi on the tombak, they question the pursuit of individuality.
