HOPE IN A POST NOVA WORLD
Poetry in the Wake of October 7
Poetry in the Wake of October 7
Join us at 3pm every Sunday at Goldstone Gallery for a powerful live performance:
🎪 Hope in a Post Nova World — a contemporary circus work by Talia Sofizade, followed by a Q&A and casual conversation.
Born from the trauma of October 7, this moving work holds chaos and resilience in the same breath — the bomb shelters, protests, and diaspora grief, but also the unbreakable thread of survival.
The piece acknowledges both Palestinian and Jewish pain, and without flattening the narrative, seeks to speak to the humanity that endures despite violence. It is at once a mourning and a reaching out — a visceral response to loss, identity, and the longing for a future beyond survival, where all may live and thrive.
Talia fuses movement, poetry, and music into a breathtaking performance — part mourning, part reaching out, part hope for a future beyond mere survival.
This performance is part of October 7: Atrocity, Antisemitism and Resilience, Australia’s first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the two-year anniversary of the Hamas invasion of Israel.
