Marginal Notes On a Body Slipping Away, (2024), Uniart Helsinki's Theatre Academy

"We meticulously observed a document, distorted its essence to suit our desires, and ultimately obliterated it, both the physical body and its narrative. 

Now, in the act of recreation, we find ourselves recollecting what we attempted to recall previously. The images and violence that once consumed us are now blurred, allowing for a fresh remembrance. 
Now you will witness the unfolding of our recollections, both as they truly occurred and as we wish to construct them. The essence of the body slips away before your eyes. 

As a passive observer, You watch the images flit through your eyes. 

A realm where nothing burdens your senses, and nothing grazes your skin, nothing touches your eyes. 

Witness the echoes of violence, all without disturbance!"

 
This performance draws inspiration from political documents in Iran. We did not seek to portray an accurate representation of Iran's political landscape. The stories depicted were not bound by strict truths or falsehoods; instead, they served as a reflection of broader experiences."
