In “Pss, Pss! Chop, Chop!” Shivā Amiri explores the traces of prolonged displacement through transgenerational experiences. The work negotiates questions of nation-statehood, gender, and queerness. It is a biographical search for stories, images, and people — inseparably connected to loss. In order to remember, Amiri visits the grandmother’s house in Kabul, researches the sites of refugee camps, and dances Attan with the spirits of the family. The result is a personal archive of sound, dance, poetry, and Sofra — a transcultural life and resistance.
در این اثر، شیوا امیری رد پای ماندگار آوارهگیِ دوامدار ره در تجربههای میاننسلی جستوجو میکند. این یک جستوجوی زندگینامهوار است برای پیدا کردن قصهها، تصویرها و آدمها — جستوجویی که بهگونهٔ جداناشدنی با گمکردن و نبودن پیوند خورده است. در جریانِ بهیاد آوردن، بازگشتی به خانهٔ مادرکلان در کابل صورت میگیرد، جاهای کمپها و اردوگاهها بررسی میشوند و رقص اتن با روحهای خانواده ادامه پیدا میکند.
چیزی که شکل میگیرد، آرشیف زندهیی از صدا، رقص، شعر و سفره است — کاوشی دربارهٔ زندگی فرامرزی، مقاومت و زندهماندن در تبعید.
