About

At each performance, a player steps on stage without having read the text and discovers the play at the same time as the audience. Nassim Soleimanpour and his team guide them by video link and earpiece.

What to expect

At every performance a player walks on stage without having read the text, without any rehearsal and without knowing what will happen.

The performer discovers the play at the same moment as the audience.

Nassim Soleimanpour and his artistic team guide the performer through a video connection and an earpiece.

Playwright Nassim Soleimanpour could not leave Iran for years before moving to Berlin, so he developed a writing style that lets his work travel without him.

  • A table, a laptop and two large screens
