Until… is a single-take video, captured using only the switch between the front and back cameras of an iPhone by the performers, and filmed during the 2022 “Woman Life Freedom” protests in Tehran, Iran. The video not only presents a highly intricate choreography for the camera, infused with the originality and urgency of what is deemed ‘possible’ in that specific situation, but also encapsulates the essence of unity, resilience, and purposefulness demonstrated by young artists responding creatively and courageously to an actual brutal situation in Iran.
‘We walk. We run. We fall. We hug those who we love and then we run again. We walk together until the walls move.’
