Diaspora Arts Connection proudly welcomes back choreographer and dancer Aisan Hoss and Dancers and musician Basma Edrees and their new collaboration, Nuance: An Immigration Story.
Doors: 7:30 pm, Show: 8:00 pm
Nuance is a piece that incorporates Aisan and Basma's immigration experiences as it tells the story of their coming to the US from their respective countries; Iran and Egypt. The piece incorporates Iranian and Egyptian influences, portraying their roots; as well as contemporary and western classical influences portraying their artistic training in the US. Artistically, they are both: Eastern and Western, but does society allow you to be both or does it seek to put you in a categorical box that is simpler than the nuanced reality of the human experience? This piece seeks to dwell upon the struggles that come along with immigrating to a new land, the questions surrounding identity, leaving all that one knows, and the courage needed to face the new. These ideas are brought together and illustrated in Nuance through music and dance. This production is made possible through the support of Zellerbach Family Foundation and Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies, San Francisco State University.
