Heartbeats

With her new performance Heartbeats, Nastaran Razawi Khorasani brings an intimate and poignant story about life and saying goodbye. A performance that touches and unsettles, but also offers space for comfort, imagination, and what makes life valuable. Central to this is the story of Dian Sahertian-Boers, a young woman who was told she was terminally ill in the prime of her life. Her words resonate with openness and a zest for life. How did Dian view her mortality? What were her desires? Did death mean the end for her, or would she live on in another way? The conversations between Dian and Nastaran form the beating heart of Heartbeats: a performance that does not avoid death, but rather shows what gives life meaning.
