Heartbeats
An intimate and poignant exploration of life, death, and what is valuable. Nastaran Razawi Khorasani creates a ritual celebration around the story of Dian Sahertian-Boers and her perspective on mortality.
Heartbeats revolves around Dian Sahertian-Boers, a young woman who became terminally ill. At the center stand her words full of openness and zest for life: how did she view dying? What were her desires? At the same time, Nastaran wonders: is my own fear a fear of the great Nothing?
In a documentary, physical, and visual performance, Dian’s words, light, and music blend into a constantly changing space. Together with the team behind the successful productions Songs for no one and This is not a dance, Razawi Khorasani creates a beyond-death world.
