Oriantheatre Dance Company

Oriantheatre Dance Company A Contemporary Dance & Physical Theater Company Indian culture calls it MAYA. My job is to re-animate that screen.

"My whole work is about the Life and this strange illusion of feeling alive in an absolutely illusionary world where the border in between real and unreal is almost non-existent. A screen that is set up just in front of our eyes on which our own images are being projected and that makes us feel alive. You call it Dance, Theatre, Performance or whatever". Mehdi Farajpour


The word ORIAN, in Persia

n language, refers to the notion of nudity which is not only related to the Body, but to the purity too, thus to the Truth. ORIANTHEATRE is a French Performing Art’s company founded by Mehdi Farajpour in 2011. The main aim of the company is to build up a new performing language that stands on the border of different art forms such as dance & theatre; video, sound and installation art. Le sens du mot persan ORIAN se réfère à la nudité, à la pureté qui, par extension, renvoie à la notion de réalité. ORIANTHEATRE est une compagnie indépendante interdisciplinaire fondée par Mehdi Farajpour en 2011 en France. S'appuyant sur un réseau international, elle rassemble des artistes des cultures différentes oeuvrant dans les domaines du théâtre, de la danse, de la musique, de performance et multimedia...
Si elle sollicite la danse comme base à ses créations, elle est en recherche permante de nouvelles formes d'expression corporelle, mêlant diverses disciplines artistiques.

One can spend hours and hours to write and delete and rewrite and delete and at the end keep staring at a photo for another hour without a single word coming in mind. It’s hard to write about some people as if their uniqueness doesn’t fit in common words. You are one of them dear Branko. You will continue living in our hearts.
