The title comes from the poem A Litany For Survival by Audre Lorde, and speaks to the necessity of the time and space that shaped the forces behind this performance, created in Tehran in January 2026. The poem is "for those of us who were imprinted with fear like a faint line in the centre" — and this performance is for those who find liberation in freeing themselves from fear.
