Embarked from the personal experience of the choreographer, living in a religiously shaped society, the doubt initiated. What she witnessed was the contradicting condition where her ambitions and her preferences in life were far from the socio-cultural norms. Such condition creates a doubled identity that one is bound to hide one of the two, at each situation.

​

The choreographic attempt was to embody this womanly inner contradiction, to capture the struggle between the desire and socio-cultural norms in such context. “To what extend our decisions and the way  we behave is bound to follow the social constructions? Are we lying to ourselves or others? Do we have power to stand against this constraint?”

​

Three performers and a Daf player (the Iranian drumming musical instrument) were accompanying the dance piece. Saber Jafari, the musician of this piece is also singing during the performance. His unique talent in combining the instrument and his voice brings about an epic atmosphere, empowering the choreographic idea.

This piece gained attention from the jury. The choreographer gained appreciated award and the supporting actor's award went to one of the performers.
