Modern Dance with Choreographer Mari Ataneli at TAF

Mari Ataneli

- Hello.

- Could you please briefly introduce yourself and your work?

- I am Mariam, a modern dance dancer and choreographer.

Currently, my project is presented here.

- Could you tell us more about this direction?

- It’s video art combined with a live installation

The video captures a performance, and the rope installation here represents a visual continuation of that movement.

It’s an exploration of human interaction with boundaries.

The performance shows how we build cages around ourselves and try to break free.

- It looks very impressive and deeply emotional.

- Thank you. The main goal was to make the viewer feel this space.

To see how a body can transform under pressure or restriction.

- Where else has this project been exhibited?

- We first showed a version of it in Europe, at a festival.

But this particular format, with the live constructive element, is premiered here.

- What are your upcoming plans?

- I want to expand this concept into a full-length theatrical performance.

Where dance, digital art, and architecture closely intertwine.

- Thank you so much for the interview and good luck!

- Thank you.
