No way to go no way to stay

Abstract

No Way To Go No Way To Stay is a solo performance inspired by my life about staying true to my identity despite obstacles. It focuses on artists in Iran who are forced immigrate to other countries to pursue theater without censorship. The process of getting scripts approved often takes years and they are sometimes rejected completely. This performance invites the audience to connect with these hardships. This show is about my life as an Iranian actor, struggling for years to get approval for my scripts and my master's thesis, which I ultimately could never defend because of censorship. Because of this, I was forced to immigrate, where I faced different challenges in the process of manifesting my identity.
