In “TIKKÉ TIKKÉ – PIECE TO PIECE,” the dancer and choreographer Mona Farivar explores the division between two languages and two worlds: Iran, the homeland of her parents, and Germany, her birthplace. It delves into both unresolved past and current fears that are interconnected. But above all, it addresses the handling of a deficient and guilt-laden self-image, constantly induced by the dominant German society, with which Mona Farivar, as a Woman of Color, has struggled since childhood.
By creating and fighting for an autonomous platform, confronting her own history and emotions through dance, Mona Farivar authentically develops a safe space for herself. In her work, she combines autobiographical, narrative, and choreographic elements with video sequences and an compelling audio track
