Shiraz ist ein hypnotischer und pulsierender Tanz voller Verzauberung und Sehnsucht. Inspiriert vom Shiraz Arts Festival (1967–1977) im Süden des Irans, suchen Armin Hokmi und sein Team danach, die Visionen des Festivals neu zu denken – seine Leidenschaft für die Live-Künste, deren Autonomie als Kunstformen sowie die gemeinsamen Wurzeln über geografische Grenzen hinweg

Is there a way to revive a festival through a dance performance? Armin Hokmi and the team answer this question 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.

Seven performers weave a pattern of movements, coiling and uncoiling to the pulsating beat of a captivating music, tracing fluid trajectories that bring them together in ephemeral constellations. With an unwavering affinity for the impulses arising between the dancers, "Shiraz" brings to the forefront the collective work of remembering and dancing together. A practice of love. A pulsating dance imbued with a sense of enchantment and longing.

The starting point for this piece is the Shiraz Arts Festival. A festival for live arts that took place between 1967 and 1977 in south of Iran and radically rethought the relationship to the audience and modalities of framing art works. Armin Hokmi, together with the team, places it into our present day in the form of a revival, by giving it a new appearance through a dance performance.

«Shiraz» is both an homage and a fictional setting. It seeks to reimagine the ambitions of the festival and its love for the live arts, their autonomy as art forms and their common roots across geographical borders.
