Sina Saberi
BASIS FOR BEING | [NARGES]
In Basis for being | [Narges], the audience is invited to a house party in Tehran in 1991 and at the same time, to a choreographic exploration of the self. Among the guests are the child, the degenerate, and the Persian dancer. Together they will take the audience on a journey through various states that form the basis for being. Narges is a Persian female name, an allusion to the eyes of the beloved, and the word for the flower Narcissus.
During his residency at K3, Iranian choreographer Sina Saberi explores both traditional and contemporary forms of movement within the Iranian cultural context. For this choreographic process of remembering, he studies moving images from a past that is no longer personal or present.
Choreography: Sina Saberi | in cooperation with: Jorge De Hoyos, Bita Bell, Tanin Torabi, Alireza Bahrami | Media: Ali Phi | Light: Sebastian Solorzano | Dramaturgy: Sina Saberi, Niklaus Bein | Production: Sina Saberi, Sina Rundel

At K3, Sina will engage in an exploration of traditional as well as contemporary forms of movement within the context of performing arts in Iran. Various unfulfilled states of being and the desire to fulfil them through embodiment serve as a starting point to develop a personal choreographic narrative that considers dance as an alternate state of being.
