Velkommen

af Marina Mascarell, kunstnerisk leder i Dansk Danseteater At præsentere stemmer som Roza Moshtaghi’s er ikke bare en ambition – det er en nødvendighed. I en tid som denne insisterer vi på at skabe plads til koreografer, der er frygtløse, kompromisløse og som har noget vigtigt på hjerte. Kunstnere, der tør stille de svære spørgsmål og skabe værker, som udfordrer både form og følelser.

SURVIVE er netop sådan en forestilling. Med radikal ærlighed og poetisk skarphed skaber Roza et koreogra­ fisk univers, hvor det surrealistiske og hverdagsagtige smelter sammen. Hun bruger dansen som et rum for modstand, refleksion – og handling. Det er et privilegium at kunne dele værker som dette med jer som publikum.

Værker, der ikke er bange for at konfrontere det ubehage­ lige, det absurde og det nødvendige. Værker, der taler direkte ind i den tid, vi lever i – og minder os om, at vi stadig er i stand til at føle, tænke og stille spørgsmål.

Vi er meget glade for at kunne præsentere denne forestilling i samarbejde med Dansehallerne.

God fornøjelse!

Om Survive

For os der blev præget af frygt – for os alle I SURVIVE blander Roza det ordinære, det vulgære og det overdrevne, hvor tegneserieagtige kampscener og pulse­ rende rytmer forvandles til øjeblikke af blid poesi. For Roza er det afgørende at lytte dybt og tale højt. Og ja, vi har lov til at skrige. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0! Alle genbesøger deres overlevende selv, hvor de balancerer på den skarpe kant af nødvendighed.

Roza Moshtaghi er en Tehran-født kunstner og koreograf bosat i Oslo. Hun henter inspiration fra hverdagssituationer og forvandler dem til surrealistiske, humoristiske møder. I hendes arbejde er fiktionen ikke blot et kreativt valg – det er et værktøj til at opdage, hvad der kommer efter vores overlevelse.

Vi glæder os til at invitere dig med på denne vilde rejse gennem forskellige aspekter af overlevelse – drysset med glimt af lys, blomstereng og øjeblikke af teatermagi, til origi­ nalmusik af bandet Taco Bitch.

Om kunstnerne Roza Moshtaghi

Foto Bradley Waller

Roza Moshtaghi er en iransk kunstner, koreograf og performer, som bor og arbejder i Oslo. Hendes værker beskæftiger sig med de uforklarlige fortællinger om begær, der opstår i processen med at tilpasse sig eller reagere på systemer og strukturer. Det almindelige – eller snarere det, vi har presset ind i uniformen af det almindelige – er Rozas legeplads. Rozas koreografier og scenografiske elementer er ofte karakteriseret som repræsentationer af abstrakte, næsten skulpturelle bevægelsesformer, der minder om både hverdagsagtige og obskure scenarier.

Hendes værker opføres ofte i offentlige rum og kombineres med skulpturer, der aktiveres gennem bevægelse og/eller handling. www.rozamoshtaghi.com

Welcome by

Marina Mascarell, Artistic Director of Danish Dance Theatre Presenting voices like Roza Moshtaghi’s is not just an ambition – it is a necessity. In a times like these, we insist on making space for choreographers who are fearless, uncompromising, and who have something vital to say. Artists who dare to ask difficult questions and create works that challenge both form and feeling.

SURVIVE is exactly such a performance. With radical honesty and poetic sharpness, Roza creates a choreographic world where the surreal and everyday actions merge. She uses dance as a space for resistance, reflection – and for action. It is a privilege to share works like this with an audience. Works that are not afraid to confront the uncomfortable, the absurd, and the necessary. Works that speak directly to the times we live in – and remind us that we are still capable of feeling, thinking, and asking questions.

We are very excited to present this performance in collaboration with Dansehallerne.

Enjoy!

About Survive

For those of us who were imprinted with fear, for all of us!

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.

Roza Moshtaghi is a Tehran-born artist and choreographer based in Oslo. She draws inspiration from everyday situa­ tions transforming them into surreal humor-infused encoun­ ters. In her work fiction is not just a creative choice – it is a tool for discovering what comes after we survive.

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.

About the artists Roza Moshtaghi

Photo Bradley Waller

Roza Moshtaghi is an Iranian artist who lives and works in Oslo. Her creations often are situated within the performing arts field as a choreographer/dancer and performer. Her works deal with the unexplained narratives of desire generated in the process of adapting or reacting to systems/structures. The ordinary, or rather what we have forced inside the uniform of the ordinary, is Roza’s playground. She looks for possibilities to hypothesize “the hidden” by digging into the ordinary as a silent landscape.

Roza’s choreographies and scenographic elements are often characterized as representations of abstract almost sculptural forms of movement that resemble both ordinary but obscure sceneries. Her work is often performed in public space and combined with sculptures that are activated through movement performance and/or action.

The choreography follows by plethoric change of sceneries but with minimalist movements, this enhances a slow tension building with sudden narrative dismantling. Moshtaghi’s choreography deconstructs everyday life movements through overexaggerated yet abstract gestures that produce discomfort and fail to adapt in human normative patterns. Her most recent projects are Songs of Chaos (2024), Sofies Room-commissioned by Munch Museum , BUD- commissioned by The Norwegian national company of contemporary dance, kinShips, LIMBO, HOOP , Bouncing Narratives... www.rozamoshtaghi.com
