When the BODY becomes forbidden and wrapped all in black, erased, either forced to disappear or ignored; and when the LOVE becomes a taboo, thus celebrating the LIFE – you name it DANCE – has no anymore sense.
I hate my name, she whispered and continued: Sayeh, my name is Sayeh that means the SHADOW. … Silence….
I thought: Yes, we all can be called Sayeh when the BODY becomes forbidden, but we still can dance even with our hands tied up and lost in the deep darkness. Yes, we all can be called Sayeh.
