The Iranian director Parnia Shams and her production manager Raha Rajabi are sitting in a good mood in front of the Berlin Schaubühne on a sunny Tuesday. It is enough to listen to them to immediately believe again in the theater and its power. Parnia Sham’s theater work and what she calls the “events of the last few months” or simply “the movement” in an interview with the SZ can hardly be separated. The movement is the demonstrations against the mullah regime, the fight for the human rights of Iranian women. Ultimately, it’s about “the discussion about how we want to live,” says Parnia Shams. Your theater is very clearly and unequivocally a part of this struggle.
