Sinopse
In Iran, dancing has been officially prohibited since the start of the Islamic Revolution. All dance companies have been forced to cease their activities. Those who still live there have to be very resourceful. How are they keeping their art form alive? This is not a dance is a performance that deals with censorship. What can be shown, what must remain hidden? As the music and lights build towards a frenzy, Nastaran attempts to keep her dancing body in check. Nastaran brings the voices of choreographers and dancers living in Iran to the stage. — Nastaran Razawi Khorasani & Theater Rotterdam
