This short film was created in collaboration with Iranian musician and composer Milad Dehghan, who is based in the Netherlands. The project is part of the BIP "Common Ground" initiative in Frankfurt, supported by the EU.
The video was filmed at the Forum in Groningen and edited by me, with original background music composed by Milad. The intention of this work is to capture the "Act of Observation" and the magic that was present during the public music performance at the Forum, which uniquely connected everyone in attendance. The film features scenes of people dancing and enjoying live opera performances, as well as an interview with Ether van Dyh, the organizer, opera singer, artist, composer, and music director of the opera group Rizzare.
