Andarta invites us to witness the fusion of video, conceptual art, contemporary dance, environmental sculpture and the rugged landscapes of the desert. The film captures the multiple layers of light, shadows and geometric shapes with repeating patterns forming a saturated palette. This composition constructs a vivid, haunting and dream-like installation of cinematic overview.
This video was filmed and recorded live in the beautiful desert near Mitzpe Ramon. Durbar (دربار – darbār) is a Persian word for the king’s reunion place – a meeting point for the Persian and the Indian musical traditions, in this case, bringing together two of the most appreciated instruments in the music of the orient, the oud and the sarod.
“The clothes that we wear determine our behavior. We weave ourselves, reflecting our bodies and imprinting our soul. We unite through dance, and form together a unique canvas of life. This canvas shows us the true colors of individual beauty. Our threads intertwine and merge into the one pure light illuminating everything around.”
