Also, in 2013, he achieved a new approach by performing art in the form of music and painting improvisation. A duet improvisation of canvas and piano, called “Rangahang,” was performed at the Tehran Contemporary Museum of Arts, and was well received by the audience. In a sequel to this performance in modern and stylistic architectural environments, with collaboration of Yaser Khaseb (a prominent figure of Iran physical theatre), he performed “Tanahang,” a duet of the body and piano in the open auditorium of the “City Theatre” of Tehran. This work was in opposition with the ISIS genocide acts, and was hugely appreciated by the audience and critics both inside and outside the country. A recorded version of the performance was screened in academic and art centers worldwide. Generating new ideas and innovating novel styles in music have always been inseparable aspects of Honiball's artistic character through the years.
