Dance on Glasses
رقص روی لیوان‌ها
Author: Amir Reza Koohestani · Mehr Theatre Group · 2001
About this work
A man and a woman sit at opposite ends of a four-metre table, facing the audience. He keeps asking whether she is afraid when she dances on glasses, and the more he presses, the more she withdraws. The piece is about a break-up and the end of a young love and the inability to bridge distance: a tension between giving everything and wanting control, between refusing and wanting freedom. Created in Iran in 2001, it toured festivals worldwide for four years.
مردی و زنی در دو سر میزی چهارمتری روبه‌روی هم نشسته‌اند و تماشاگران روبه‌روی آن‌ها. مرد بارها می‌پرسد آیا وقتی روی لیوان‌ها می‌رقصد نمی‌ترسد، و زن هرچه بیشتر زیر فشار پرسش‌ها می‌رود، بیشتر عقب می‌کشد. نمایش دربارهٔ یک جدایی و پایان عشقی جوان و ناتوانی از پل زدن بر فاصله‌هاست؛ کشمکشی میان همه‌چیز را دادن و خواستن کنترل، میان پس زدن و خواستن آزادی. این اجرا در ۱۳۸۰ در تهران پدید آمد و چهار سال در جشنواره‌های جهان گشت.
