Built On Kindness
What are the essential components for sustaining a long-term dictatorship? If you had ultimate power, what tactics would you use to maintain control? How far would you extend your atrocities, and would you be willing to take the blame? This satirical dance piece examines Khamenei's 40 years of dictatorship in Iran. The work explores his power-play ideologies through a theatrical lens, using absurdity and dark humor.
