ZENDEH
BSL Interpreted - 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th August
August 1978. Cinema Rex fire, Abadan, Iran. Four-hundred and twenty-two dead. The year of Superman, Saturday Night Fever, and an act of terror that sparked a revolution. Who will remember the dead?
Shahrzad – feral cat, teller of tales – pleads with Death for one more life. To have another saucer of milk. To tell the stories of the dead. Paris, Baga, Peshawar, Aleppo, New York, London, Utoya, Abadan… What matters now is that the names are not forgotten.
ZENDEH creates award-winning, unforgettable theatre that connects the personal with the political.
