Iran 1979. The Revolution, then the war. A young woman just of age and no other choice but to flee.
Luxembourg 2024. The exiled young woman has become a mother and has been living peacefully for over 25 years. Iran seems far away. And yet...
Tehran-Luxembourg is a play inspired by the testimony of an Iranian woman. With humor, sensitivity, and modesty, Shadi, our heroine, shares her memories of Iran, tinged with hope and sorrow.
Her adolescence in an Iran shaken between revolts, repression, and war. Then her search for new bearings for her entirely new life in Luxembourg.
I land at Findel. With my little suitcase. Nothing resembles what I know. I'm lost. What am I doing here? Daddy, Mommy, I'm coming back! No one speaks Farsi. I understand nothing. What if I turned around? But no! I'm alive!
Shadi thinks of her sisters in Iran today who are fighting to live freely and who have created the movement 'Woman, Life, Freedom' following the death of Mahsa Amini, beaten to death by the Iranian moral police in September 2022.
She speaks of Iran, her beautiful Iran that she misses and wonders if she will ever see it again in peace. This story is above all a life story, but it is also a story that thousands of other exiled or refugee people still experience today, particularly women.
This project, invented and carried out by women, is written by Marie-Claire Junker, directed by Tiphanie Devezin, and performed by Shiva Gholamianzadeh, who tells a story very similar to her own destiny.
