Bahareh Razekh-actress

Back home in Stockholm after another season in Norway.

What started with a phone call from became months of carrying Aina’s story — a young girl who didn’t survive — and the people left behind trying to understand what remains after loss.

11 år eventually took us to FIND Festival in Berlin.

Months of rehearsal rooms, airports, conversations, and audiences in Norway and Germany who carried the work with us in very different ways.

And somewhere in the middle of all this, the world shifted again. Watching another war unfold in Iran while carrying this story every night felt impossible to separate from the work, the people around me, and the theatre I’ll deeply miss.

Somewhere between stage and afterhours.

‎Berlin days.

i see you

Nowruz.
Carried across languages, borders, kitchens, generations.
From my grandmother’s arms in Tehran during the Iran-Iraq War
to this war on Iran.
With the Islamic Republic keeping us hostage all along.
Noroozetoon pirooz.
I hope 1405 brings Iran closer to freedom.
