همه هستی من آیه تاریکیست | All my being is a dark verse
Alexis Fletcher & Arash Khakpour

Ballet BC resident artist Alexis Fletcher and Iranian-Canadian dance artist
Arash Khakpour undertake a project that marries the artistic disciplines
of literature, visual art, and dance by reaching across dance styles,
languages, and cultures in the practice of duet. The work, which is part
of Chutzpah!’s programming series exploring the work of Jewish and
non-Jewish artists of Persian background, is in collaboration with
Canadian-Iranian visual artist Nargess Jalali Delia and inspired by the
poetry of Farsi poet Forugh Farrokhzad. The piece will be paired with a
program of Persian storytelling curated by The Flame.
The audience
is invited following the performances to the Sidney & Gertrude Zack
Gallery for a facilitated Talkback and casual reception with the artists.
