Description

Dual. One woman, two passports, two names: Peyvand is British, Parisa, Iranian. As a child Peyvand visits Iran with her father. They're held by the Iranian government, unable to return to the UK. Spoiler: They did eventually return. But what of Parisa? An award-winning solo show made in collaboration with a multi-national team featuring drag, animation, and the voice of Pedar (if you know, you know). Peyvand and Parisa fracture and multiply to an Anglo-Persian pop soundtrack. They ask how they can be advocates for themselves and allies to each other.

What a thought provoking piece of theatre.- something gritty and real. Something rare at this year's Ed Fringe. It had just the right balance of humour and plain truth. This woman is a true freedom fighter, using theatre to invite us to question our privilages, our freedoms and our liberties and that not all of us have this simply out of racism, prejudice, ignorance, and economic ranking in the world (all of which can and will change). Well done. Keep going.. Don't give up.
