Directed by Aryan Zolfaghari

Since dressage creates and reinstates the existing state, performing group and I have attempted to create a concept in Tehran Metro, as one of the places where this concept has been established, by performing four related performances by selecting minimal gestures and daily movements to create a variety of anti-spaces.

Aryan Zolfaghari

AryanZolfaghari is an Iranian choreographer, theatre director, performance artist, and video artist based in France. He studied a Master's in Choreography at ICI-CCN in Montpellier. He started his artistic career in 2007 as a theatre director and actor. Since 2017, he has choreographed site-specific performances and has presented his works in unusual places such as corridors, university staircases, and dormitories. Through these site-specific interventions, urban spaces and their architecture gradually became central to his artistic practice. His work explores the relationship between architecture, power, and the body, examining how spatial arrangements shape movement, behavior, and social relations.
