In this solo performance, composer, musician, and interdisciplinary maker Sanam Tahmasebi shares a personal reflection on themes of freedom, memory, and the voice as a form of resistance. Drawing from her ongoing multidisciplinary project Beyond the Triangle, she presents a piece composed of layered vocals, cello, field recordings, electronics, and poetry, followed by a conversation with the audience.
The full work, created in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Roshanak Morrowatian, dramaturg Nilay Ceber and co-produced by Explore the North, centers around recorded poems of Iranian women living in Iran. These poems are not political manifestos, but internal landscapes: verses that carry solitude, rage, hope, beauty, and longing. In this solo performance, their presence is transformed through sound. What unfolds is a raw, intimate, and urgent moment, not a message but a shared space. A sensory field where grief and hope coexist, a mirror held up to our collective longing for freedom.
