Cell in a human scale
Video performance | Premier at Suzan Dallal center
Cell in a Human Scale is a multi-disciplinary performance, a duet, based on a personal story.
Sahar Azimi, a choreographer and a dancer and Tamara Erde , a film director, met around art circles. Having been inspired by one another's work, they decided to collaborate. Parallel to their acquaintance, Sahar found out that he has HIV.
Cell in a Human Scale is driven by, as well as inspired by the confrontation with this information.
Cell in a Human Scale is an intimate visual dance piece that deals with the appearance of a devastating virus - a product of urban society - and with the way human beings cope with it.
The two performers “live” inside a protected and sterile white space. In this space they examine their relationship with each other and their relation to the environment. This examination reveals
different motivations such as fear and caution that lead the two performers to meld, sometimes to blindness.
The performance combines movement and video projections as well as a unique use of sound and lights. In this piece the artists wish to eliminate the traditional separation between stage and audience by using a synchronised system of lights -sound-projections.
