In collaboration with ehsan ghoreishi

By exploring the ancient traditions of storytelling, Jarosz invites the participants of the performance
to be part of an unknown journey within. Based on intuitive story in collaboration with artist and musician ehsan ghoreishi, they retell what they can find in the time–frame of the tent in the middle of the desert.

To be able to intuitively create is to posses a knowledge much more universal, because it is based on a very human existence. To see it and follow it is to reclaim our ancestry. We, as humans, are at the end of an impossible line, traced over thousands of years by the lives of those who came before us.

All these people were once children, so they had to be born, survive the dangers, disasters, diseases, epidemics that awaited them, and mature to the time when they could conceive or give birth to a child. And this child had to travel the same route. It is impossible to count all those who died along the way.

Even if we know nothing about the lives of your ancestors, we can feel them. We carry within us the story of the first people, those who came before humans and thanks to whom humans came into existence.
