Alina Arshi at the [8:tension] Young Choreographers' Series Podcast
Today’s guest is Alina Arshi. She presented her duet States of bewilderment at this year’s [8:tension] Series.
This conversation is about contradictions. And how to translate them into dance. About the double life of a migrated person, about the fight against the voice constantly saying "Who are you to...". It is about doing things, even though it seems not possible and about staying sane. If that is possible.
Alina Arshi and Almud Krejza met in July 2026 during ImPulsTanz Festival to record this episode. They recorded outside – at least that's where they started – and got interrupted several times, mostly by heavy rain. So please excuse the many additional noises and the frequently asked question: Where were we?
