The excerpt features a single speaker (Speaker A) delivering a Persian recitation of the classic poem "Bani Adam," traditionally attributed to Saadi. The verses articulate the concept that all humans are parts of a single body, and that the suffering of one part is felt by the whole. This poetic passage is incorporated into Bita Ghassemi's experimental dance video "LIMBS OF ONE BODY," serving as a thematic anchor that underscores the choreography's exploration of collective humanity and shared vulnerability.
