Opening Performance

After one shady deal too many, Hassan and Shirin's brother is waiting in his cell for his sentence. For Shirin, successful and with a university degree, it is the long-overdue consequence of her brother’s lifestyle without any desire to “integrate.” For Hassan and his friends Omar, Murat, and Freddie, it is the arbitrary violence of a system that never gave them a chance. Trying to convert the pressures into political energy, they organize a demonstration against racial profiling where right-wing thugs show up and things take an unexpected turn. With fast-paced dialogue, playwright Arad Dabiri raises troubling questions about national identity, family guilt, personal responsibility, and individual freedom.
