LET US BELIEVE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE COLD SEASON

In her previous two performances, A Reason to Talk and (Not) My Paradise, Gholamalizad questions concepts like boundaries and otherness by dissecting her relationship with her mother, her family and her homeland. In Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season, the final chapter of the trilogy, she lets go of the past and tries to forge a path to a new reality.

Sachli Gholamalizad has delved into archives and traveled to the US, Canada and Argentina in search of different, universal narratives. In her encounters, she has experienced the constant battle women fight to be able to get off the beaten track. Gholamalizad wants to depict a new and different sense of womanhood on stage. Using her voice and her body as her instrument, and underscored by music, she takes the audience on a journey through universal myths and stories. She wants to recover power and space by rewriting old narratives, thereby mapping out the contours of a new reality.
