Fringe: Light has teeth Sanam Tahmasebi (IR)

A dream ritual intrudes

In this first chapter of a larger performance, vocalist and composer Sanam Tahmasebi and dancer Roshanak Morrowatian move through a dream ritual in which voice, hair, sound, and live projected image constantly change function. Live singing, electronics, cello, self-made percussion, contact microphones, and recorded voices of Iranian female poets combine to form a whole that exists between song, noise, breath, and memory.

The work does not tell a single story. It follows a body trying to surface, a voice trying to remain present, and a freedom that does not arrive lightly. Somewhere between dream and reality, tenderness and pressure, Light has teeth asks what begins to emerge when concealment is no longer possible.
