SYNOPSIS - ALL MY BEING IS A DARK VERSE - 60 min.
Creation 2022 / 2 performers
همه هستی من آیه تاریکیست | All my being is a dark verse is a full-length duet created and performed by Alexis Fletcher and Arash Khakpour, who are both Vancouver-based dance artists, creators and directors. The heart of this work lies in the extraordinary poetry of Forugh Farrokhzad (1934-1967), beloved Persian poet and powerful female voice which transcends across cultures, generations, and is full of humanity and love that goes beyond borders and ideologies. We view this work as a free verse poem, just as open to your interpretations and perceptions as Forugh’s poems themselves. We have sought to create a response to the feelings evoked in us by her work.
