The Space Between Us is a staged musical project bringing together Persian music, poetry, and contemporary dance inspired by sama. It explores the invisible bonds that unite us through sound, movement and listening, creating a meeting place where traditions intersect, transform, and give rise to new forms of expression.

The work is carried by the voice and târ of Elham Manouchehri, the santur of Amir Amiri, the double bass of Darius Azar, and the Middle Eastern percussion of Joseph Khoury. The dance and poetry of Tawhida Tanya Evanson extend this exploration, transforming music into movement while making visible the energy that circulates between the artists, the space, and the audience.
