others paste the u as in india and others are hoping to exploit lunar mineral resources to sustain long term live in bases on the moon show. and that's it for now. thanks for joining us. my name is melissa chance. the, the untold story for detail is going to be funded here repos every weekend on d. w. cost about why does that mean? because like now i'm lease, i'm under the new host to join

us for an exciting exploration of everything in between. this is a video and audio production 5 d w. i hope video with you and in the dancing is a very, very big part of my life. it's uh, it is my passion a jeremy would have had a dancing van is kind of like, i don't know, cutting one of your fingers off in a way to. but someone is holding you back from doing something in the islamic republic of the ron. dancing is found, many people still do it,

and after 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 rainy and revenue. so now many are protesting the secrecy at home and abroad. 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. screening as i'm all in the a vivian a so kind of are, is on their way to rehearsals at the door to open the gem and opera between g 8 year old as a balance or 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 the parents come from a ron. but she only ever visited the country as a baby. now she left the life of a professional battery. i mean, i've always been surrounded with knowing how women are being oppressed in the wrong. they have to be forced to wear a head scarf or a he job. and this has been quite normal for me like a growing up and i've never thought too much about it. but that changed when protests began any wrong. now she's in touch with the children starting school into iran. 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, i'm sorry, trying to to have a phone call. so but now she has to rehearse the 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 valley rena is not what it seems. places of valerie in us. it's a lot of this, a lot of this exact and um, or yes, the toes. how, how's your toes to do? do valerie as aids? do they like of course the best thing about food is for sure. if they

seen the blacks one movie and was there 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 is owner.

oh, yes, it's fine. it's just very tired. so the whole over that 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 that 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 artists. from that time, women were afraid they were liberated back then women in iran didn't

have to kind of, they had goals, 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 experienced this transition of power to i had filled out a whole lot of mainly the stuff 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 it 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. hi,

vivian tells her about the don school enter on. there are a lot of families that like secretly send their kids to this. her school to like to, to practice dance and music. yeah. 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 done school. well 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 like the 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 and miscues 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 iraq, but we have 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 the like to do like and be happy. this is what a time 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 like are traumatizing

these children and dreams and 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

. busy the following day, vivian is on home. tough. the rehearsal space of the door to old ha! it's almost time for her, cool. with the dawn school in to run, but then plans change so out of young as ease. meanwhile, i am cooper. she sadly, canceled the interview due to security reasons. i don't wanna pressure into

anything that she doesn't feel safe with. and, but of course, is disappointing, that she even has to feel like this in the wrong that people are still scared and still feeling that they could lose everything. so just by a phone call, i would try to contact her by myself here, and try to still keep in touch with her. i can't deny the feeling that i have and look away from what's happening any long 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 or the

how many of you speak more than 2 languages, at least 2 or more languages. we used to be taught to speak english, why we, we can from becky ground of speaking, hey, we have to embrace and mean so, i mean, what do you do you lose you? i just simply by learning a level language, when i speak english, i said they can do this, pressing this 77 percent next on dw these lines which includes positive training, the line between plastic and the jobs finish can kinda can e mail is august on tiny house concert width in depth conversations cooking. and of course i'm using the unveiled in 60 minutes on d w. i. she's got any issues with

a lot say what grade the we used to be forced to speak english. why we, we can from becky ground on speaking. so here we have been raised on imply, healy, yeah, no, i've been told will stories and so he no longer reading it is what he then all the writing you, you, you lose identity. we just allow her languages to die and we are in bracing languages that are not ours. go to the right language. it does not all embrace communication, but also shapes or identities. how is seeing how we perceive the world? it 1st as the core of our existence. this is a highly personal mark.
