Tavalode Dobāre  is a story of a journey, as we follow Setareh, a wandering soul, embodying different forms through layers of temporality & consciousness.

~

From dream-state stars to the realm of reality, Setareh find herself following a spiritual wound, until left with a melancholic hope in human form.

~

Through a transcultural use of Persian, Sicilian & Sufi poetry, music & ritual practice, this audiovisual work nestles an individual’s grief within a collective pain & longing for clarity. 

“An incredible experience…evocative, meditatory and spiritual”

"In a reality, filled with disconnect, confusion and separation, arrives Roxanna Albayati’s Tavalode Dobare - a beautiful reminder of the collective consciousness path, a journey each and every one needs to experience."
