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 Champion 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 portray 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.
“These stories are still few and far between on our stages, and in a world divided by religion, politics and borders, the show provides the perfect stimulation to develop empathy.” Audience member.
“So warm hearted that it is impossible not to enjoy.” ★★★★ The Guardian
“Immerse yourself in Bobak’s world, it will enliven and educate you.” ★★★★★ Fairy Powered Productions
