From the viewpoint of the East, this theme has always been accompanied with sorrow and intertwined with Iran's ancient literature; home, the epitome of safety and shelter has always had a close connection with woman and motherland. In this video tokens of contemporary dance exist alongside traditional symbols of the East and modern poetry. The makers of this video have long been preoccupied with the question of whether concordance of body language with language of poetry can emit a mood that would take the movie to a new dimension of visual and audial logic. Voila. The result of an effort to respond to that question is this 10-minute long production. In our point of view contemporary dance is the closest expression to poetry and movements can transfer this concept best through their abstraction. Written by Shahab Ghafari See less
