Introduction

This play was first performed in May 2017, in an abandoned mansion in Italia Street, Tehran. The audience was limited to four people who would follow the performance by walking through different spaces of this location. This play was also performed in the 36th International Fadjr Theater Festival, in a different location with different properties, in Enghelab Street, Tehran. Similar to previous projects, the performance was redesigned according to the architecture of the second location. 


Synopsis

The play portrays the life of Narges, beginning with her forced marriage under the legal age in a small village. The story continues by narrating her story in Tehran, years later. Here, she meets her long-lost friend (Ali), who goes on a spiritual journey to rejoin his childhood sweetheart: Narges.
