#SaveTheDate: January 7th from 22h00 till January 8th at 5h00 at the Sophiensaele and as part of the Tanztage Festival Berlin 2023 be ready for this series of durational collective dream meditations. Parisa Madani – pariyestan: tails of sisters 青蛇+白蛇:緣起.
about the performance:
in the upcoming edition of the PARIYESTAN-multiverse – a series of durational collective dream meditations – we focus on slow, dreamy choreography accompanied by recitations of traditional poetry and classical live music, this time specifically around the topics of sisterhood and motherland. sisterhood is embraced in the form of resistance. a gathering of sisters dreaming together in languages they don’t understand. they share artistic expressions freely while creating a monument in time together. through slowness, love and trust, they are powerfully exploring other possibilities of co-existing.
for the performance night, we invite the audience to lay on mats and pillows to commence horizontally. from here, almost anything can happen, and that is the magic we work with.
the 7 hours are structured in intro / welcoming the audience, dance + dialogue, music, nap time, awakening + collective dream painting.
handmade tea + snacks to relax and stimulate will be served throughout.
BYOG! (bring your own goodies!) list of goodies to be find HERE.

… are German-Iranian women of trans* experiences with sharp green eyes working with live arts and the communities. they established the collective Haus of Bubu in 2017 that celebrates drag and queer performance art from international and rotating members who come together and create abstract yet emotional live shows. Honourable members of the Haus are Martini Cherry Furter (MTQ), Nana Schewitz (B), Mavi Veloso (BRA), Dynno Dada (GR) + + +
the choreographer and multimedia performance artists centre care and relaxation for QTIBIPOC* and since 2020, they experiment with immersive dream meditations.
these collective nap sessions serve as spaces of worship, where rest is valued as a form of resistance. resisting white supremacy cultures that are so deeply rooted, like a virus infecting traditions of griefing, mourning and relaxing.
with a Bachelor’s degree in Dance and Choreography from the School for New Dance Development SNDO in Amsterdam, Netherlands she currently travels the world, fully embracing their freedom.
