To the captivating rhythm of electro beats that drive the bodies in their impulse, seven performers weave a synchronized choreography made of small, swaying steps and barely undulating silhouettes. The gestures are confident, subtle, precise, and precious. With Shiraz, Armin Hokmi rekindles the infinite power of dance. Carried by singular bodies, the collective strength reveals a vibrant landscape anchored by boldness — a raw and indelible joy.


Start the evening with Enjoy your life at Espace Pasolini.
