Midnight Children (2020) explores new ways of physical collaboration in performance art by emphasising no corporeal interaction between performers as consequence of COVID 19 pandemic. It focuses on how the artists’ shadows, as the extension of their being and intermediary entities between them, can inhabit and interact with each other in the site of the performance.  In this series human shadow operates as a peculiar entity with no static properties. It embodies the traits of the performers’ diasporic identities  (Iranian and Italian) as well as symbolising their alter-ego.
After lifting the lockdown in England, Midnight Children (2020) has become a travelling project. As an immigrant and nomad I live on my boat and travel on the canals around London. This project examines the public nature of the canal system and transforms various public locations into a site for artistic intervention. it also creates unique opportunity for me to meet and collaborate with new artists from various background who live on boats. I have made two variations of this performance in London so far.
The voice-over in Midnight Children (2020) is a conversation between me and my shadow. The text is a cut-up from the Old testament, Plato’s Republic and the Quran.  The song is an English poem I made by combining words from chapters 24 (Light) and 40 (Forgiver) of the Quran and Sunday tabloid newspaper. 
I’d like to either present or perform this piece in a public space during Bienalsur.
