Introduction

This play was first performed in May 2017, in an abandoned mansion in Tehran. The audience is limited to four people who follow the performance by walking through different spaces of this location. Additionally, the play is featured in the 36th International Fadjr Theater Festival, held in a different location with unique properties, on Enghelab Street, Tehran. As with previous projects, the performance is redesigned to suit the architecture of the second venue.
