Amidst the age-old weight of terror, humans have consistently risen in resistance, seeking freedom from the shackles of mind and body. This indomitable spirit of defiance resonates profoundly in the artistry of Hooman Sharifi, a Norwegian choreographer with Iranian roots. Transitioning from the vibrant pulse of hip-hop to the grace of classical and modern ballet, Sharifi not only dances but weaves a vivid narrative at the nexus of dance, theater, and graphic art. Intertwining art with civic engagement and politics, Sharifi’s intense choreography challenges our perceptions of power and violence.

Middenin de zware last van eeuwenoude terreur hebben mensen altijd weerstand geboden, zoekend naar vrijheid van de mentale en fysieke ketenen. Deze ontembare strijdlust resoneert sterk in het werk van Hooman Sharifi, een Noorse choreograaf met Iraanse wortels. Van de energieke ritmes van hip-hop naar de elegantie van klassiek en modern ballet, Sharifi danst niet enkel - hij vertelt ook een levendig verhaal dat dans, theater en grafische kunst samenbrengt. Door kunst met maatschappelijk engagement en politiek te mengen, stelt Sharifi's krachtige choreografie onze beeldvorming over macht en geweld ter discussie.
