Time to Meet - MARDOM
Showing by Sina Saberi
Time to Meet! Following his residency at Tanzfabrik Berlin BÜHNE, Sina Saberi invites you to an Open Studio at Uferstudio 4.
In his interdisciplinary performance project “MARDOM” (wt), Sina Saberi deales with the topic of pain and justice. At its core lies the question: How does pain affect the individual body, and—as a result–the collective body/-ies? For “MARDOM” (wt) , the Iranian choreographerdraws on the allegory from Saadi Shiraz’s 13th century poem, Bani Adam, which conveys the message that each human being is part of a larger, all-encompassing human body. When one part is in pain, the whole suffers. The poem adorns one of the meeting halls of the UN headquarters in New York and has been used in political discourse as a call for empathy and shared responsibility. In Saberi's project, embodied movement, visual art and literature weave together into a lived experience, designed for public and semi-public spaces to question how despotic structures imprint themselves on our psychosomatic realities—and how bodies might respond, remember, or resist.
