Warp & weft is an intimate portrait of an artist, a patchwork of pieces representing different facets of her through the multitude of aesthetics of piano compositions over the last thirty years.
Warp and weft are the terms used to describe a weaving method in which two threads interlaced at right angles form a fabric. The Persian translation “Tār o Poud” is a poetic expression used to describe the different states that build up a person. This expression has a particular resonance for Iranian pianist Nina Maghsoodloo, evoking an intimate dimension of being.
More than a piano recital, Nina Maghsoodloo proposes a patchwork of varied and often unexpected forms, where the piano, sometimes amplified, dialogues with video, soundtrack and the pianist herself. Warp & weft establishes a connection between music and audience, and offers to share the emotions it arouses. Contemplative, moving, funny and incandescent, Nina Maghsoodloo offers an original performance not to be missed!
