This is a collaboration between Toranj Mashayekhi and Masoumeh Jalalieh.
It is a live sound performance based on kitchen objects.
We are constantly surrounded by different tools and objects and their functionality, what if we take the objectivity from these objects and let them live their subjectivity?
In this way, we create an experience of objects that narrate their objectivity by placing them in different situations, constellations, and compositions. The objects symbolize different metaphors as they coexist next to the other objects, the sound, the people, the space, the performer, and the musician as they revisit and reidentify them through different encounters.
In this performance, we invite the audience to listen differently to the sounds and look at the performance from a non-subjective aspect, it is an invitation to the audience to revisit their history and sense of nostalgia through the experience of sound and image.
The performance starts in a non-conformal way, and constant spontaneous compositions, and ends with a flowery bitter-sweet drink and a sound carpet of the entire performance.
