STF 2026: Armin Hokmi (DE) „Shiraz”
Advertisement
Armin Hokmi (DE) lavastus “Shiraz” toimub Sõltumatu Tantsu Festivali / STF 2026 raames. Etendusele järgneb vestlus kunstnikuga.
„Shiraz” on koreograafia seitsmele tantsijale, mis põimib liikumisi ja žeste väljendudes pulseerivas meditatiivses liikumises. See on rütmide, mälestuste ja kujutlusvõime tants. Kesksel kohal on ühine mäletamine, koos tantsimine ja kollektiivne kogemus. Seitse tantsijat joonistavad pidevalt muutuvate radadega lavale minevikku, muutes selle samal ajal olevikuks. See on jagamise, liikumise ja taassünni akt.
Teose lähtepunktiks on 1967–1977 Iraanis toimunud Shirazi kunstifestival - üritus, mis tõi kokku kunstnikud üle kogu maailma, ühendades omavahel traditsioonid ja eksperimenteerimise ning muutis omal ajal radikaalselt arusaama etenduskunstidest ja selle suhestumisest publikuga. Armin Hokmi taaselustab festivali vaimu, edastades tantsu kaudu selles avaldunud vabaduse ja avastamise tunnet. Shiraz on enamat kui austusavaldus – see on visioon. See uurib seost tantsu ja koha, žestide ja ajaloo, mälu ja leiutise vahel. Tantsijad järgivad pidevalt arenevaid radu, tuues lavale mineviku ja kujundades seda ümber olevikus. “Shiraz” on jagatud liikumise, mäletamise ja uuenemise akt.
Armin Hokmi on Iraani juurtega Euroopas tegutsev tantsija ja koreograaf. Oma karjääri alustas ta 2009. aastal Iraani Independent Theater’is ning jätkas hiljem tööd ja õppimist välismaal. Tal on bakalaureusekraad näitlemises Norra Teatriakadeemiast (2015–2018) ja magistrikraad soolo/tantsu/autorluse alal HZT ülikoolis Berliinis (2019–2021).
Oma lavastustes liigub läbi aja ja ruumi, pöörates eelkõige tähelepanu unarusse jäetud ja unustuse hõlma vajunud tantsudele. Tema hiljutiste tööde hulka kuuluvad „Passages“ (2019), „International Dance“ (2022), „Shiraz“ (2024) ja „Of the Heart“ (2025). Tantsija ja etendajana on ta töötanud teiste seas selliste kunstnikega nagu Mette Ingvartsen, Kasper Ravnhøj, Hooman Sharifi ja Phillip Zarrilli. Aastatel 2024–2026 oli Armin Montpellier Danse'i kaaskunstnik. “Shiraz” valiti Aerowaves'i poolt Twenty25 Artistsi hulka ja seda esitleti Spring Forward Festivalil 2025.

Armin Hokmi (DE) performance „Shiraz” takes place during STF 2026.
Shiraz is a choreography for seven dancers, an intricate weave of movement and energy that meet and transform on stage. A dance of rhythms, memories, and imagination. The starting point is the Shiraz Arts Festival (1967–1977), an event that brought together artists from around the world, blending traditions and experimentation. Armin Hokmi revives its spirit, translating its sense of freedom and exploration through dance. More than a tribute, Shiraz is a new vision. It explores the connection between dance and place, between gestures and history, between memory and invention. The dancers trace ever-evolving paths, bringing the past onto the stage and reshaping it in the present. A shared act of movement, remembrance, and renewal.
Armin Hokmi is an Iranian choreographer based in Europe. 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).
Armin's dance and movement language is an interplay between a sense of familiarity with known forms, and practices that elude recognition. Cultivating a horizon where different possibilities of referentiality converge in contrast and alteration. Particularly and in concern for dances that have been neglected and deemed unworthy of historical significance. His choreographic practice embarks throughout time and space, overflowing attention and persuading change through the constant unfolding of the dance into new trajectories. His recent works include Passages (2019), International Dance (2022), Shiraz (2024) and Of the Heart (2025).
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.
