MARDOM is an interdisciplinary performance dealing with the topic of pain and justice. At its core lies the question: How does pain affect the individual body, and–as a result–the collective bodi(es)? How do despotic structures imprint themselves on our psychosomatic realities—and how bodies might respond, remember, or resist.

​​

The project is based on Saadi Shiraz’s 13th century poem, Bani Adam, that regards each human being as part of a larger, interconnected, figure. When one part is in pain, the whole suffers. Movement, media and literature meet together, creating an immersive experience, designed for public and semi-public spaces.
