Ulduz Ahmadzadeh / عطش ATASH عطش contemporary dance company ›TARAB‹
In the organizer's words:
"The message seems clear. Bring the women of this world into the light! Don't leave them out in the rain." -tanz .at
In Arabic and Iranian cultures, the term "tarab" is used when the body is gripped by the music and physical sensations are heightened. At this moment, when body and music unite, the door to ecstasy and enchanted sensuality opens.
In 'TARAB', the final part of a trilogy, the ATASH عطش contemporary dance company focuses on unexplored, underrepresented and in some places forbidden movements, healing ceremonies and rhythmic patterns from the pre-Islamic culture of the Middle East. Dance and music from this period underwent a multitude of Eurocolonial and Islamic translations. In them, women were either reduced to sexualized, "oriental" entertainer dancers or were forbidden from dancing and singing together altogether.
In 'TARAB', Iranian choreographer Ulduz Ahmadzadeh sets a counterpoint to the widespread images of commercialized and westernized versions of "Middle Eastern" dances. Accompanied by the complex rhythms of virtuoso percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, seven dancers give expression to millennia-old movements.
