Ashkan Afsharian
Tekiyeh

In the dance piece "Tekiyeh" a movement pattern of a religious ceremony, the Iranian Ashura ceremony, is confronted with western influenced bodies. The question of what knowledge our bodies carry within them and whether culture can be conveyed through movement will be explored.
In the last semester of their two-year master's programme, the seven students of the MA Choreography at the HZT Berlin will present their final projects in the Uferstudios and on the stages of the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch. The international students come from Iran, Finland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany and the USA and everyone brings an own artistic signature and approach. The performances conclude a research and rehearsal period lasting several months, during which the students have dealt intensively with their individual questions and themes.
