"In the installation Love Oslo Hooman Sharifi has gone out in the street to ask people «what is love?». The answers are collected and the audience can study them during the festival.
– I have done the same thing in Iran and intend to compare the answers, Sharifi says. He has also made a room of mourning as part of the festival.
– There is a sound installation with bass tones from Buddhist monks. The tones are special and give substance to the room and voice to mourning. It will be exciting to see how the audience relates to it, when they enter a room called mourning.
– And you offer dance?
– Yes, in Lover's discourse the audience can select among several texts, from Nietzsche, for instance, and give the text to a dancer. Who dances for you alone. One spectator and one performer, Hooman Sharif says."
