ABOUT COOK, EAT and CLEAN

Gezeigt werden Performances, Installationen, Musik und Filmbeiträge. So ist unter anderen der international auftretende Tänzer und Choreograf Mostafa Shabkhan mit zwei Performances vertreten.

Die Musikerin Toranj Mashayekhi zeigt gemeinsam mit Masoumeh Jalalieh eine Live-Sound-Performance mit Küchengegenständen. Die Performance-Künstlerin Yalda Pakzad kommt eigens aus Rom angereist, da sich ihre Performances hauptsächlich um die Idee von Kochen drehen – und damit perfekt in das Konzept von “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” passen.

Die Installation der in Österreich lebenden Künstlerin Ahoo Maher’s installation ist ein symbolisches Monument, das die Betrachter*innen mit ihrem eigenen gebrochenen Spiegelbild konfrontiert, und Teil einer Ausstellung sein wird.

Der Performer und Choreograf Sina Saberi mit Wohnsitz in Hamburg wird zwei Episoden seiner Trilogie vorstellen: den Prozess seiner neuen Kreation, die in einigen Tagen im Kampnagel Premiere haben wird.

Der Filmemacher, Schauspieler und Choreograf Alireza Keymanesh hat für seine experimentellen Tanzfilme „Flatland“ und „My Lovely Home“ mehrere Preise auf verschiedenen Festivals gewonnen. Beide Filme werden im Salon “COOK, EAT, and CLEAN” zu sehen sein.

Darüber hinaus gibt es weitere Beiträge von Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari,Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam und Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi sowie Parmiss Rahmani.

Iranian artist Masoumeh Jalalieh, alongside 20 other artists from Iran, invites the public to the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon at eindorf from 29 May to 2 June. The salon at eindorf is characterised by the fact that the audience can experience the performances in an intimate and direct atmosphere.

Performances, installations, music and film contributions will be shown. Among others, the international dancer and choreographer Mostafa Shabkhan is represented with two performances.

Together with Masoumeh Jalalieh, musician Toranj Mashayekhi will present a live sound performance with kitchen utensils. Performance artist Yalda Pakzad has travelled all the way from Rome, as her performances mainly revolve around the idea of cooking – and therefore fit perfectly into the concept of „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“.

Austrian-based artist Ahoo Maher’s installation is a symbolic monument that confronts viewers with their own broken reflection and will be part of an exhibition.

Hamburg-based performer and choreographer Sina Saberi will present two episodes of his trilogy: the process of his new creation, which will premiere at Kampnagel in a few days.

The filmmaker, actor and choreographer Alireza Keymanesh has won several prizes at various festivals for his experimental dance films „Flatland“ and „My Lovely Home“. Both films will be shown in the „COOK, EAT, and CLEAN“ salon.

There will also be further contributions from Nazanin Mehraein, Shirin Farshbaf, Kimiya Rastgou Moghadam, Hannaneh Heydari, Golara Ghofrani, Ava Jalali, Behzad Gholami, Roya Keshavarz, Lagha Ghavam and Maryam Farahi, Tanin Torabi, Nima Noury, Avin Ahmadi and Parmiss Rahmani.

Forbidden Lines
Kurzfilm(09:21 min)
A collaboration of Lagha Ghavam & Maryam Farahi

In this dance film, we invite viewers to immerse themselves in an otherworldly experience. Our goal is to create a dreamlike space by carefully blending characterizations, filming techniques, costume design, stage elements, and sound design. The essence of this duet dance is the transformation of sensuality and femininity into a whimsical spectacle within our surreal world. A deliberate contrast between the aesthetics of the space and the characterizations creates a sense of suspension and confusion. This cinematic piece invites viewers to enter a realm where women seek liberation from their tangible reality, embracing their authentic bodies within this poetic piece of dance.
