SURVIVE as if for the first time is a choreographic ode to the ongoing faces of resistance
Roza Moshtaghi is a Tehran-born artist and choreographer based in Oslo. She draws inspiration from everyday situations transforming them into surreal humor-infused encounters. In her work fiction is not just a creative choice – it is a tool for discovering what comes after we survive.
In this performance Roza blends the ordinary, the vulgar, and the exaggerated, where cartoonish battle scenes and pulsating rhythms transform into moments of gentle poetry. For Roza, it is urgent to listen deeply and speak up. And yes, we are allowed to scream. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0! Everyone is revisiting their surviving self where they live on the sharp edge of urgency.
For those of us who were imprinted with fear, for all of us!
Audre Lorde
We can’t wait to invite you in for this wild ride through the different aspects of survival scattered with glimpses of light, blooming flowers and moments of theatrical magic set to the original score by the band Taco Bitch.
SURVIVE is a collaboration between Dansehallerne and Danish Dance Theatre.
