The French Mistake

Hekmat's engendered narratives looked at the unconscious movements of the body, finding a form of expression which operates outside of social, emotional and linguistic cliches. Deconstructing fragmented biographies into constituent elements, she considers the possibility of creating an environment on stage where private imagination is combined with public and political history. Ambiguous gaps in context invite projection and participation by the audience.
