A LETTER TO EUROPE

A LETTER TO EUROPE 

On September 20, interdisciplinary artist Nazanin Noori presents the premier of A LETTER TO EUROPE, a new spoken word opera commissioned by Bergen Kunsthall based on a poem by poet and playwright Athena Farrokhzad addressing migration, borders, and displacement in contemporary Europe. Fragments of Earthly Verses by Forugh Farrokhzad recur throughout the performance as a poetic refrain. Combining voice, percussion, and electronics, the work features a score composed by Noori together with musician and composer Andrea Belfi.
