About performance We Sleep Among Demons
We Sleep Among Demons is a musical performance about facing your biggest fears. In a ritualistic concert to exorcise the devil, club member Amir Vahidi kill joys his own discomfort in order to take center stage. Amidst a fever dream, he battles the inner demons that shape his perception of reality. Inspired by Persian mythology, and accompanied by lyrical, narrative music, Amir frees himself from old compulsive habits. He tries to find trust in being vulnerable, even if getting hurt is a guarantee. Because there simply is no other option. Letting go is also a form of harvesting.
We Sleep Among Demons is a creation by Amir Vahidi, in which he searches for roots that don’t need earth to ground. For a heritage that transcends space and time.
This performance will be spoken in Dutch, English and Farsi. During the performance there will be English and Dutch surtitles.
