Treasuries of Mysteries at Contact
Andrew AndersonCombining her own spoken word and the 12th century poem The Treasury of Mysteries by Iranian poet Nizami Ganjavi, Amsterdam Hip Hop theatre maker Sheyda Darab is out to start a dialogue with herself and her public. She invites us to look for treasure – in still images, slow motion, storytelling, music and explosive dance – where street and club styles like Krump, House, Waacking, Popping, Sabar and Butoh become one.
Part of Flying Solo Festival 2017, celebrating the art of the solo performer.
