Zéro

In Farsi and in Arabic, zero is “sefr”: the void. It is in the heart of this pure abstraction that swallows all its multipliers. "What if the Iranians won their elections in 2009? And if there had not been war, exile, gazes of others, division, separation? And if… ? " Seeking what brings us together rather than what divides us, Mani Soleymanlou returns to the essence of his first show, ONE, presented 8 years ago. To the void. Before the action. The zero. The primary circle that ties us to each other. Zero is a unique show that spans through three distinct space-times to allow the spectator to immerse the creation and move with it. Creating a theatrical object, in both form and content, that will lead us back to the very basis of the theatrical act itself, and back to the original question: “What drives us toward each other and binds us together?”
