Nazar is a multi-sensory 1:1 live performance incorporating virtual reality. This part-memoir part-immersive archive invites audiences inside a digital reconstruction of the creator’s childhood home. They go on an intimate journey that follows the complexities of her relationship with her mother across three decades marked by regional conflicts and her eventual migration. Nazar unfolds as experiential poetry within evil eye protection sessions, shared in their relationship and communicated primarily through touch. Embodied experiences prompt audiences to consider these inherited practices and their virtual extensions not only as methodologies of care but as ritualistic acts of soft resistance. Nazar culminates in a magical choreography of the senses, complete with audio-recordings of surveillance drones, motion-capture of unarchived gestures and chants that seal a covenant between a people and their land, moon, clouds, stars and vines.
