LANDSFRAU
When the last plane left Kabul, Afghanistan vanished from Ariana’s reach. In LANDSFRAU, the return of the Taliban and the withdrawal of the western troops in 2021 triggers an autofictional reckoning with war, memory and responsibility. Onstage, Ariana dismantles images of Afghanistan and builds her own counter-archive: fragments of family history, imagined pasts, longing and rage. Afghan folk music collides with electronic beats; Attan meets contemporary dance. Through a feminist lens, she confronts the quiet guilt of living safely abroad. Refusing explanation or absolution, this performance becomes a personal act of political resistance.
