IT IS A METADANCE FLOW
FARA TEKAN is rooted in Persian mysticism with an improvisational character,
created by visionary artist Sara Behrad.
Once FARA TEKAN flows, it transforms into a higher-frequency dance.
For Sara and me it is all about how to prepare ourselves to gain the capacity
for that ‘momentum’ to happen on our stage.
The audience becomes witnesses in the process of FARA TEKAN
and joins us as fellow travelers on a journey of discovery
through impulsive movements and dance.
FARA TEKAN was first presented in Iran in 2016.
In 2019 we left Iran for the Netherlands to expand our work.
FARA TEKAN was first presented with the title MITRA in the Netherlands
on May 3, 2022, at Theater Peeriscoop in the city of Gorinchem.
