Merman
They enjoy eating fish, are adaptable, swim quickly and with pleasure, and they are beautiful: mermen and Addas Ahmad Mohammad. "Merman" is a dance-based (self-)portrait of Thikwa dancer Addas Ahmad Mohammad. In a thoughtful and humorous evening, he and dancer and choreographer Kaveh Ghaemi use their bodies to express what words often cannot. They take us on a journey filled with fear and courage, anger and tolerance, injustice and discrimination. What masks are imposed on him, and what do his self-created masks look like? The dancers’ bodies become the means of expressing the challenges and struggles that Addas experiences, as well as the moments of silence, laughter, and love that connect him with others.
