About us

We have been a collective of six members since 2011. In the beginning, our purpose of having a collective was supporting each other in our works and practice, while also sharing a great deal aesthetically through our collaboration. During ten years of collaboration, our relations to performing arts have been influenced by our individual education and experiences. In 2021, three members of our collective have moved to other countries and our collaboration is shifted to remote ways of making. We’ve created performances, workshops, and residencies between 2011-2020 in Tehran. Our performances have been presented in Tehran theaters, and International festivals such as ITFoK (India), BOZAR (Belgium), ACT(Spain), etc.

1.Performances

For us, the urge to create performances stems from individual experiences within socio-political contexts. As a collective, we share our personal perspectives, ideas, and experiences with one another, as well as our opinions regarding the starting point of the research. The research process shapes the rehearsals, and depending on who the creator is, the creation process takes a different form. Through years, we have experienced different concepts, forms and methods of creating works.

2.Workshops

We. have organized and curated different workshops between 2017-2020.
Workshops are happening based on our individual practices and educations. Our focus points are theater making mentorship, performance text writing, art therapy, artistic research and positioning. We also invite artists from different backgrounds from other countries to share their practice with Iranian young makers. The main focus of these workshops are exchanging knowledges with young makers who don’t have access to knowledge and academic resources.

3.Theatricultural ExchangeResidency
The Exchange residency was a project that to create a bridge between Iranian and European emerging theater makers. The residency took place from 2017-2019 in Tehran.
