The Iranian artist, in partnership with Résidences Art and KANAL-Centre Pompidou, went to meet local groups in Brussels and Molenbeek in order to find an answer that could resonate and find meaning in each of us.

Mon réveil me réveille (2017)
Our day starts as soon as we wake up and lasts until we fall asleep. These two extremes align the primal unity of our lifetime. The idea of realizing these two ends in a short lapse of time and of questioning the act of awaking from sleep as an artificial force is the inspiration behind this work.
To indicate the process of time and to ritualize everday movements, this living installation creates a situation in which an artist sleeps with an alarm clock until she is woken by the alarm, repeatedly.

ALL AROUND

Drummer Will Guthrie and choreographer/dancer Mette Ingvartsen have been following each other’s work and collaborating at a distance over the past 5 years.

In All Around the audience encircles a performance space occupied by a drum kit, a moving light and the performers' bodies.
