Adam Seid Tahir examines these associations and draws parallels with the marginalisation of Black people. At the centre is the figure of Ymir, an intersex being who, according to myth, was murdered and from whose body the world emerged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing\">Through the geography of death, the afterlife and the non-linearity of time, the stage becomes a world of transformation: a place where the body becomes weather, where hair becomes endless forests, where anger, sadness and grief intertwine. \u201cand from their hair, endless forest\u201d invites the audience into an atmospheric world of myth and legend.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full-length dance performance over 36 hours, 23\u201324 October 2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":49761,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"slim_seo":{"noindex":"1","title":"Adam Seid Tahir - Dansens Hus","description":"Full-length dance performance over 36 hours, 23\u201324 October 2026"},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-49756","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"meta_box":{"components":[{"component_type":"artist","linkbox":{"linkbox_background":"#f4f4f4"},"component_artist":{"artist_image":"49759","artist_heading":"Adam Seid Tahir ","artist_text":"Adam Seid Tahir (they\/them) is a choreographer and creative technologist. Their two roles involve crafting performative work, web-based work and more.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSeid Tahir is interested in runology and the idea of an Afro-Nordic folklore. Their work tries to retell the history and mythology of the Nordic land on which they grew up and still live on through a queer Afro-diasporic and post-anthropocentric lens.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAll of Seid Tahir\u2019s works deal with the personal and mythological as political. Through this they construct emotional and sensory fictive worlds where they critique certain societal constructions. In other words, they use fiction to create resistance, question and distort different subjects and realities.\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\nSeid Tahir has presented their work in contexts including: Kunstenfestivaldesarts (BE), MDT (SE), Kampnagel Summer Festival (DE), Tanzquartier (AT), Dansehallerne (DK), Emergentia (CH), B\u00e2tard (BE), My Wild Flag (SE), Dubrovnik Summer Festival (HR), Dance Umbrella (UK) and more.
