Since their first work Farci.e, Sorour Darabi have been exploring the notion of transgression, with a particular focus on the potential of reappropriation. Reappropriation can bring to light what is masked by binary thinking: the hybrid myths hidden between left and right, man and woman, human and animal, good and bad, physical and spiritual, natural and industrial, ...

In Natural Drama they question the concept of “Nature” through the lens of contemporary environmental issues and from a historical and socio-political perspective, with all that implies for the body. Natural Drama is a kind of futuristic mythology with its roots in dance traditions both seen and hidden, preserved and lost.

About Sorour Darabi

Sorour Darabi is a self-taught Iranian artist living and working in France since 2013. Working actively in Iran, they were part of the underground organisation ICCD, whose festival Untimely (Teheran) hosted their work before their departure for France. They address in their pieces the transformation through time and cohabitation with the environment, and the notions of language, gender identity, sexuality, and vulnerability.

In 2013, they joined the Master Exerce at ICI-CCN in Montpellier, from which they graduated in 2015. In 2016, they created Farci.e, a solo dealing with notions of language, gender identity and sexuality. Their next piece, Savušun (2018), is an ode to affection, vulnerability and affected beings, which draws inspiration from Muharram's mourning ceremonies and addresses the issue of emotions: grief, fear and suffering. In 2020-2021, upon invitation from the Brussels Kunstenfestivaldesarts, they created Mowgli, inspired by the jungle as an infinite territory at the crossroads of contemporary myths.
