Description

Based loosely on the Iranian modernist writer, Sadeq Hedayat, Lost in Translation is an absurdist piece of theatre about cultural and intellectual disconnection. By delving into the subconscious of our poet-protagonist, an unabashedly pompous figure trying to understand the world outside, we see the inner struggles that arise from not fitting in. Mistranslated and literally stuck in their own head, our poet tries to understand how they can fit into a world that seems, at all points, to be trying to leave them behind.
