WE ARE THE PERSIANS!

Polyplanity Productions-WE ARE THE PERSIANS!
DIRECTED BY: YOLANDA MARKOPOULOU
ATHENS FESTIVAL
JUNE 2015
Polyplanity Productions-WE ARE THE PERSIANS!

Hussein, Reza, Khalil, Aidim, Reza and Ramzan have arrived to Athens from far away. They are the Persians! Their new station is Athens. How was their journey? What are their everyday battles on a new ground? A documentary theatre performance using as a starting point their personal testimonies and recent events that changed their lives, in a discourse with the Persians of Aeschylus.

Images maintained in our collective memory come alive in this personal odyssey where 6 stories intertwine. The Station Athens Group was created through a 5-year theatre workshop. The group, 6 refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh present a performance that taps into today's major issue of migration.
