Description

A visually striking, non-verbal solo puppetry performance exploring climate change, displacement, and human connection. Inspired by Persian visual culture, traditional Iranian arts, music, and storytelling, the work combines pop-up book elements, puppetry, movement, and visual storytelling to reflect on migration, loss, and resilience. Accessible to intergenerational audiences, the performance transcends language barriers and invites empathy and reflection on climate change, forced migration, and our shared responsibility.

Featured at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club (Nov 2025) and Official Selection Human Rights Arts Festival (Dec 2024).

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
