Inseparables
2023 Inseparables is an interdisciplinary solo performance expressed through the body & voice. This creation is rooted in dialogue with receiving knowledge through dreaming, contemplating her lineage of diasporic movement from pakistan & ushering a resurgence of self-identification. Ritualized through a personal mantra, the voice bathes the public with the intent of catharsis & communion.

Dive deeper into Sophia’s creation process:
“Initially I was interested in creating a group piece. But I didn’t feel resourced to have an open call and as I had just moved to Barcelona, and everyone at my dance school was very busy focusing on their work and classes.
Then I thought, it can be a duet! I began to work with a dancer, investigating and creating a duet.
During winter break, I had time to reflect on the material and how I wanted to use my voice, I decided I needed to rehearse alone.
As I began to rehearse alone, my voice began to take up space and I realized, that at this point it was a solo, one that I would push me to go deeper into myself and not hide. Deciding to make it a solo was a scary decision but it felt right.
In the future I would like to create another piece based off of this work as an ensemble.”

In October 2023, she began her residency at the Ateneu de Fabricació de Gràcia, where she laser cut this stamp in Urdu. The phrase represents a written record of the mantra she sings and grieves throughout the performance.
