We went to watch it. The room stayed quiet. You couldn’t look away, and you weren’t supposed to. Edge-Raw (بریم اجرا), directed by @jaberramezan , presented a series of movement-based works developed through improvisation and process. The program included A Thousand Drops of Blood, created in January 2026, in response to the violence in Iran. The work approaches that context through the body, without narrative. 📷 @wvs ✍️ @sarahjafari_
