SHEKĀRE ĀZĀDI (Chasing Freedom) is a performative dialogue of generations, the struggle of inner and outer worlds colliding, confronting, and finding space to heal. Through interdisciplinary storytelling, it takes a personal as well as location-based journey, where the audience are invited to experience a diasporic chase for freedom, dedicated to the women of Iran. 

 

This series of works began formation over the course of 2022, first premiered during Roxanna's solo residency at Zaratan Arte Contemporânea (Lisbon), and subsequently re-commissioned in 2024 as part of Zaratan's performance cycle "VOLTAS",  in collaboration with Rebecca Moradalizadeh. In November 2024, the  music was premiered in London, at the Boundary Condition Anniversary event, and in spring 2025, this body of works will feature in Roxanna’s first solo exhibition, at Dentro Gallery (Porto).
