“Dance begins within the heart before the body.”
Afshin Ghaffarian
The Shout ( 55 mins )
The choreographer dancer Afshin Ghaffarian invites us to a trip through time and space, in a world of conflict where his struggle with symbolic entities such as Earth,Water, Fire andAir expresses the origin of the being and its loss, the vital breathing and its dashing, the forming of language and its dissolution. In the form of an initiatic story, the danced world of Afshin reveals the original birth ofMan in the mists of time. His body, one of elastic faun, and his already cracked voice metamorphose according to the life cycle – moaning passive inert, flickering standing walking, suffering running tensing up, singing talking shouting- to dance at last, to struggle, to overturn and crawling to the door.
