Songs for no one
Nastaran Razawi Khorasani (NL)
Documentary storytelling (in Farsi with german & english surtitles)
What does it mean to live in a dictatorship? What thoughts and hopes keep the young generation in Iran on their feet? The performer Nastaran Razawi Khorasani spent several months talking on the phone to two children growing up in Iran. The soundtrack of the conversations forms the basis of this theatre evening. In Farsi, the two talk about computer games, New Year’s Eve plans, everyday situations and special encounters In the process, they repeatedly and incidentally touch on big themes such as courage and freedom, censorship, self-censorship and life dreams. Their thoughts are projected onto the stage set in German and English.
The sound space is complemented by rousing pop songs that Nastaran and the musician Jimi Zoet wrote together with the two children, who remain anonymous throughout the play.
Nastaran accompanies the soundtrack performatively. She supports and complements the young people’s stories with unconditional devotion and unprecedented restraint. She gives her body and her resources as an artist in Europe over to the question of how she can share the stage with people who have no access to it.
