Heartbeats, Nastaran Razawi Khorasani/Theater Rotterdam

What does it mean to face one’s own mortality? How do desire, fear, and the future relate to one another when time suddenly takes on a different significance? With Heartbeats, Nastaran Razawi Khorasani presents an intimate and poignant performance about life and saying goodbye, in which loss and the will to live constantly intersect. The performance is based on the story of Dian Sahertian-Boers, a young woman who, in the prime of her life, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Her words reveal a remarkable clarity, openness, and zest for life.
