Our performance

This performance tells our creation story, where every ending invites a new beginning: The Zero Point. Therefore we chose the Farsi word “noqté", meaning “Point”. nOqté is the chronicle of life, the continuum of growth that unfolds itself in cylces. Can we get in touch with the wisdom of our emotions along the way? This immersive experience challenges the conventional boundaries of art and reminds us that we are all creators, whether we consciously create art or shape our lives with our choices and interactions.

A Story of Creation

Every creation starts with one cell; one point:

The Zero Point, nOqté

Creator rubbed his palms, from which fell a small, round, brown ball. The brown ball stretched to immeasurable size. It became the earth.

Our story starts here, with the creation of the earth. Creator and creation explore each other.

Life originates out of fluidness and lively bubbles multiply

as they dance around in space.

An intense event takes place: the birth of humans.

Experiencing the human drama they start their journey, searching for peace, searching for the Zero Point.

Order and chaos become one, everyone is reflected in each other. It is a moment of transformation, a moment of embracing the Zero Point.

"As a video maker, I was very impressed by the beautiful interplay between dance and video projection. The lighting, the silhouettes, the projection, the dance, the percussion and the timing were perfectly interwoven into a powerful interplay."

~Jan, teacher in audio-visual education ~

nOqté is original. Finding a balance between tradition and innovation, music, video-art and dance transform into a universal language.

Sound, image and movement merge together as ONE.

The impressive and huge drum (2m) also serves as a projection screen. The visuals created by the combination of video-art and dance establish an immersive experience.

Western intellectual concepts connect with Eastern emotional wisdom. The emotional immersion is guaranteed.

We talk a lot about circular economy. It's in and that's good. And it can be much more than that too. We can live in a circular way, where we always come back to the zero point.
Kesha Raithatha from the Aakash Odedra Company coached me for this wonderful project. Hear her expression on the zero point.
