a passion jeremy would have had a dancing van. it's kind of like, i don't know, cutting one of your fingers off in a way to that someone is holding you back from doing something in these nomic republic of a ron dancing is found. many people still do it and opposite they've videos as a form of protest. but you're in for more freedom, especially women whose lives have drastically changed for the worse since the rain in revenue. so now many a protest in the secrecy at hu, unapproved. there's so much things i can say with that with, with my art for him and to touch people and to inform people the, the ability i have to actually have a voice here and to be dancing on the stage. really,

as i'm all in the it in a saw kind of our as on their way to rehearsals at the door to open the gym and opera. the 28 year old as a dancer at the shots, but at the berlin state ballet. she was born in good, simple sweden and has been dancing all her life. as a teenager, she then studied at various national ballets across here in parents come from iran, but she only ever visited the country as a baby. now she lives the life of a professional battery. i mean, i've always been surrounded with knowing how women are being oppressed and you're wrong. they have to be forced to wear a headscarf or

a job. um, and this has been quite normal for me like growing up and i've never thought too much about it. but that changed when protest began any wrong. now she's in touch with the children starting school in to run. i just realized how i feel so distant from this country um the people and how unfair it is to, to be around in girl like any or iranian girl in iran. but living here and to have the privileges i do have here, which they wish to have there. i've had contact with this girl. now, since the pandemic and i said i wanted to actually travel during these years to to go there and to maybe give them trespass and give them workshop to

teach them and maybe have a collaboration. she's actually answering trying to to have a phone call. so but now she has to rehearse a performance from the world renowned choreographer peanut bose stravinsky's the rise of spring. the she missed the train every day practice until its perfect classical dance as demanding physical work. it's a lot of care. and within this profession, it's a full day job. even if the end product is made to look so easy,

the life of the bell arena is not what it seems. places of valerie in us. it's a lot of this, a lot of this exact and or yes, the toes. how, how's your toes to do it? do valerie knows it? do they like of course the best thing about food is for sure. if they seen the blacks one movie and then like, is the true about the, the eat like a piece of fruits or like a great fruit in the morning. i'm like, no, no, it's not. pasco, valley and modern dance has similarities, but also a lot of differences is different muscles you work with so badly it's you have to be kind of more higher on your hips and you're like funny, straight and then and it's lights or i would say. and then lot of nice can

sometimes be most of the time as being more heavier, and you have to be more grounded and rounded into the floor. and, and this also brings different muscles and different pain the show if i, if oliver, my husband it's fine. it's just very tired. so the whole over there. in the meantime, vivian is found time for passion projects. in 2022. she really has to own pace together with other ensemble dances and young talents. latasha a little bit as in these books at, at which means this too shall pulse. it's a persian adage describing the federal nature of life and the human condition. the

project focused on the lives of women in iran before and after the revolution. the piece was very inspired or of the time of the 7 days. so i did use kind of this color full costumes and music from yvonne in rock artist. from that time, women were freed, they were liberated back then women in iran didn't have to cut it. they had goal is went to school together with boys. they was cinemas and alcohol was not yet found. that all changed in 1979 with the writing and revolution. religious leaders seized power and women lost most of their individual freedom vivian's mother personally experience this transition of power to i, a toyota corolla who, mainly just them. the drastic changes led her to leave the country in 1987 and to

emigrate to sweden. 5, i guess nobody came um if we wanted to speak up, they could send us to prison for that to click that in, but they arrested so many people. my father was so frightened and i was so active, so therefore he told me like you better leave the country to vivian tells her about the don school into iran. there are a lot of families that like secretly send their kids to this. her school to like to, to practice dance and music. and i mean i, i'm looking really up to her that she's able to do this for children there, you know, and super risky. what she does and, and she's willing to do this tomorrow she aims to cool the down school. oh, i see

a lot of just children that look like me. like it just reminds me of my childhood. you know, like i, when i was like a little girl in school and the practicing dance and cuz you know, i have pictures like when i, when i was in school and i was the only, you know, dark haired girl with light, darker skin and all everyone else was more like blown the light skin, you know, and just like seeing like, a group of the same girls, you know, how much in michigan use ahold of a like like how i was when i was young. you know, i just, i get really emotional, actually seeing this, it reminds me of my childhood, but also to see that, you know, there's so many children in a wrong that wants to do the same thing. like having the freedom and just having, let enjoy. this is what i see like joy in their faces that into that they're able

to, you know, enjoy their childhood is like, have the chest to practice what they like to do, like and be happy. this is what a times which should be it shouldn't be just a good memories. and i feel like there's so much going on in the country that are traumatizing, these children and dreams being crushed, you know, a just a few hours later vivian, the head, back to the stats or the bit in state opera as a professional done. so she performs up to 14 shows a month with a bill and state ballet. now the focus is on guessing the timing perfect. getting every move precisely rise ahead of tonight's performance. the

look away from what's happening in the lawn and sadly enough these in. so there are inspiring me i wanna message people, none of your audience to, for them to understand that or how terrible this is the world of free speech, free press enter, open access to free information for every star training next to take action. hello dw global, easier for them 2024 in bunch of any register now autism and it's from all over the world to share their solutions. and to say tomorrow's john doesn't join us and register now for the d. w global media for in 2024. 79.
