Performative meeting for peace

the way of the energetic voice and vocal action

Nigar HasibShamal Amin

pp. 363-376

Abstract

The journey of the Lalish Theatre Laboratory leads towards the discovery of a new combination of voice, movement and life as a whole. It leads to sublating the separation between art and life, between aesthetic and everyday value judgments. The most important aspects of this work are: (1) Performative circle; a ritual space of "everywhere and nowhere" and a ritual time of "always and never." (2) Songs as Source/making songs visible; the intensity, immediacy and depth of vocal-embodied expression in which it is not about what we say, but how we say it. Voice and songs here turn into the source of rhythm, of physical presence, they turn to the source of action. Songs are not sung but done. (3) Intercultural dialogue; based on the concept of 'self-discovery" and the "meeting" between individuals of different cultures.
