The objective will be to stage the life of Tahereh (Fatemeh), the first Iranian feminist of the 19th century. Poetess and theologian, her interpretations religious texts led to her being condemned to death. She then declared to her executioners a phrase that has remained famous: “You can kill me whenever you want, but you will never be able to prevent the emancipation of women! She was then murdered using her own headscarf. The music played, whose title is Rooberoo, usually accompanies a poem by Tahereh, recently revived by the Iranian singer Mohsen Namjoo. At first, I will be asleep and rolled up in the carpet, then, little by little, following the music, I will wake up. Thereafter, I will fight in the mat. Finally, following the realization of this choreography, I will return to slip into the mat. Design and performance: Ameneh Moayedi Music: Reyhan Broumand
