Ashla: Underdogs

GUEST: Ashla: Underdogs
Homa Shokri with working group

World premiere 6.5.2026

The scattered remains of a body

Ashla: Underdogs is a performance that moves through astonishment, exhaustion, and addiction — tracing how invisible violence reshapes the body, leaving it without character and endlessly narrating. Echoing the body’s repetition and fatigue under overstimulation, the piece asks how contemporary bodies — caught between numbness and intensity — become uninhabitable.
