Prisoner of Tehran, based on the book of the same name, is a unique collaboration between Iranian born writer/speaker Marina Nemat and MOTUS O. This unique performance piece is a synthesis of theatre, video and dance that brushes the themes of oppression, persecution, survival and most of all HOPE. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Marina was arrested at the age of sixteen and spent more than two years in Evin, a political prison in Tehran, where she was tortured and came very close to execution. She came to Canada in 1991 and has called it home ever since. Marina’s book Prisoner of Tehran has been published in 28 other countries and is an international bestseller. After each show a Question and Answer period will take place. Prisoner of Tehran has toured much of Canada including performances to over 10,000 high school students.
*Please note that this is a 60 minute performance with no intermission, followed by a Q & A period
* Starting at 6:00pm, the Station has savoury Lamb Merguez or Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sausage on Cauliflower Tabbouleh, Salad Shirazi, and a chocolate cherry cupcake for dessert! Beverages sold separately.
