About

ECHO is a theatre piece by Nassim Soleimanpour at Théâtre National, Brussels, from 10 to 19 February 2027. Each night a new, unprepared performer takes the stage with the script as their guide.

What to expect

Every evening a different performer walks on stage without a single clue of what will be asked of them.

Unprepared, they follow the script through the story of playwright Nassim Soleimanpour, live in connection with his flat in Berlin.

The piece asks what it means to be a migrant across different timelines, and what it means to meet someone only through a phone or a screen.

  • A new, unprepared performer each night
  • Script read aloud, unrehearsed
  • Written by Nassim Soleimanpour
  • Directed by Omar Elerian
