OF THE HEART – AN ETUDE
A show by Armin Hokmi
Iran – Germany – Norway, 35′
NATIONAL PREMIERE
Of the Heart – An etude, a solo piece created by Iranian choreographer Armin Hokmi (active between Oslo and Berlin) together with dancer Katherina Jitlatda Horup Solvang, places the heart at the centre of its exploration, understood as the nerve centre from which the rhythm of each body emerges. Following relentless, hypnotic sounds while an ancient beat already pulses within us becomes an elusive struggle: a physical act of exploration in which dance and dancer meet in a moment of co-presence and synchronised pulsation.

Bio
Armin Hokmi is working with dance and choreography. He began in 2009 as a performer with independent theater in Iran and later continued to work and study abroad toward experiences with multiple performative practices and mediums. He holds a B.A. in acting from Norwegian Theatre Academy (2015-2018) and has received his M.A. in Solo/Dance/Authorship at HZT Berlin (2019-2021).
He is focused on how to work with dance and choreography as interfaces and tools for proposing distinct modes of public address. In parallel, Armin’s dance and movement language is an interplay between a sense of familiarity with known forms, and practices that elude recognition.
His recent works include Passages (2019), Public Dance, Permutable Stage (2021), International Dance (2022) and Shiraz (2024). As a dancer and performer he has worked with artists such as Mette Ingvartsen, Kasper Ravnhøj, Hooman Sharifi and Phillip Zarrilli among others.
Armin is an associate artist at Montpellier Danse for 2024-2026.
