1001 NIGHTS APART

She­he­ra­za­de had to tell sto­ries to stay ali­ve – we have to dance!

In Iran, dancing is for­bidden – but some young peo­p­le in Tehr­an are try­ing to teach them­sel­ves how to do it behind clo­sed doors. They know hard­ly any­thing about the histo­ry of Ira­ni­an dance befo­re the Revo­lu­ti­on. Sarv­naz Alam­bei­gi has dis­co­ver­ed some rare film foo­ta­ge of the Natio­nal Bal­let from back then. How can someone bring tog­e­ther the old and the new gene­ra­ti­ons of dance? (Text: DOK.fest München)
