Storytelling meets dance, live music meets clowning.
An intimate spectacle of identity, where being British, Iranian, and a Hip-Hop head collide. A hilarious and heart-felt story of one man’s journey to Iran to discover his cultural heritage featuring a captivating mixture of live music, spoken word, break-dancing and comedy.
Join Bobak on his journey of self-discovery as he meets a whole cast of weird and wonderful characters – from women defiantly running the first (and last) ever Tehran marathon, to stumbling into an underground breakdance battle. Whilst the media frequently portrays the Middle East as a frightening and dangerous place, Bobak shows us the positivity, joy, family and community that we rarely get to see.
This is a beautiful story that will have you laughing-out-loud and leave you feeling full of hope. After the show, enjoy a chat with your neighbours and the artists as we serve traditional Persian tea and date biscuits called Kolompeh. Everyone is welcome.
Age restrictions: Suitable for ages 12+ Audience warning: Contains characters using racist, Islamophobic and strong language.
