A common thread throughout the sources of inspiration is the concept of a prison in one\u2019s mind versus a physical place of imprisonment or incarceration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This performance piece found its origins in the experience and survival by a relative of Kermani at Tehran\u2019s Evin Prison when she was 16 years old. How does one survive this experience of solitary confinement, physical, psychological, and emotional torture? As an \u201carchaeologist of Greek myth\u201d Kermani found a vehicle for her production through the ancient Greek plays about Iphigenia. It is an intense journey through a series of seemingly unrelated events united by situations of confinement, censorship, fear and death. Throughout all this, however, there is a sense of hope of a better future if the characters involved continue to persevere, seek knowledge and listen to their muses. The film concludes with an excerpt of Ellen McLaughlin\u2019s interpretation of <em>Iphigenia in Tauris<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iphigenia: book of change USA, 2017, 50\u2032 Director: Elise KermaniProducer: MiShinnah Productions \/ Elise Kermani&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10012,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1016],"tags":[],"agentacat":[],"class_list":["post-10347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-films-2022"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
