"A Conversation Through Us" A Narrative Performance Ritual for Violin & Voice

“A Conversation Through Us” is a multidisciplinary performance exploring the continuum of the experience of humanity through the lens of female experience.

Featuring works by Holst, Villa-Lobos, Vaughan Williams, Milhaud, and Afazel, the project serves as a "sensory sanctuary" in an age of normalized global aggression and digital isolation. By rejecting the traditional "stage-and-listener" divide, the performance pulls the audience into a shared psychological flow, a necessary sanctuary in a fragmented world.

At the heart of the work is Memory as a tool for Ownership. In an era defined by the "bold distances" of digital screens, our personal stories are at risk of becoming mere consumable data. This performance is a reclamation of those stories.

Through original narration by Hamidreza Ostovar, delivered as visceral testimonials, the audience is guided through a symbolic journey across history. It is an invitation to stop observing and start participating in a collective reflection on what it means to be human—and an individual—today.

(Recorded live in April 2026, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Kalamazoo)
