Salon Ma ما | II. Edition: Atmen zwischen den Rissen!

In the organizer's words:

Concert and performance by Noufãn & Oliver Doerell, Neda Navaee, Vincent Bahar & Vivian Assal Koohnavard | curated by Modjgan Hashemian

noufān & Oliver Doerell move through post-punk and kraut, carried by trumpets, incessant beats, noise and Farsi poetry.

Vincent Bahar is a Swedish-Iranian composer, director and interdisciplinary artist whose work oscillates between experimental, Western classical and Iranian musical traditions. Through Sufi rhythms on the daf, improvisation and electro-acoustic sounds, she creates physically profound performances that fuse ancient musical practices with contemporary technology, inviting the audience to an embodied, emotionally charged listening experience.

Neda Navaee// is an internationally renowned photographer specializing in portraits of classical musicians. A born cosmopolitan who spent her childhood years in Iran, France and the USA, she initially decided to find her artistic expression through music. As a pianist, she performed all over the world. Before moving to Berlin, she lived in New York City for ten years, where she was also a lecturer at New York University (NYU).

The Swedish-Iranian dancer and choreographer Vivian Assal Koohnavard, who works at the Staatsballett Berlin and elsewhere, uses her Iranian heritage as a starting point to view the body as both an instrument and an archive, exploring movement as a form of memory, expression and transformation.
