“The soul has five parts: the body, the mind, the consciousness, the breath, and the mirror. The latter, after death, joins the sun.”
Inspired by the Bundahishn, a Zoroastrian text on the creation of the world, this performance explores the relationship between light and darkness, between revelation and erasure. According to this ancient narrative, the mirror is not just an object: it is memory, a fragment of light, a passage between the visible and the invisible. It captures, transforms, and shatters reality.
Kimia Nasirian (BE)
In a space sculpted by reflections and music, between the sétâr and the piano, the spectator is immersed in a sensory experience where light becomes matter and sound, a guiding thread. A journey into a universe where the mirror oscillates between guide and trap, between appearance and disappearance, where the eye searches for what eludes it.
Kimia Nasirian (she, her) is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1996 in Tehran, Iran. She has lived and worked in Brussels since 2020. Holding a master’s degree in sculpture from ENSAV – La Cambre in Brussels and a bachelor’s degree in design from the University of Strasbourg, her work explores the collective memory of the body within political and social movements, as well as the religious and traditional rituals of the Middle East. She is the co-founder of the performance collective M-A Collective in Brussels.
Nazanin Yalda (she, her) is an Iranian musician and composer based in Brussels. She began her musical journey at the age of ten with piano and singing. Later, she delved into the tradition of Iranian Dastgah through the sétâr. A graduate of the Tehran School of Music, she continued her studies at CRR in Paris before obtaining two master’s degrees with high distinction at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in classical piano and chamber music.
She is the co-founder of Floèmee, an Iranian electronic music group, and Xilema Duo, a four-hand piano duo. Passionate about color and symbiosis in the arts, she explores how different traditions and artistic worlds can meet and coexist to enrich their respective languages.
