ATASH
Residency guest 24/25
The ATASH عطش contemporary dance company was established by the choreographer, dancer and researcher Ulduz Ahmadzadeh. Together with scenographer Till Krappmann, they work at the intersection of dance, performance, video, installation, documentation and activism. In various collaborations, the artist duo produces pieces in which dance is at the centre. Their most recent trilogy – Under Cover, Force Majeure and TARAB – was co-produced by Tanzquartier Wien and is touring internationally. ATASH عطش aims to expand the contemporary dance language with a Middle-Eastern dance vocabulary, breaking up the hegemony of Western dominated aesthetics, and specifically addresses socio-political issues and cultural hierarchies.
