The fragmentary nature of these shots taken in a Tehran coffeehouse in 2001 is the starting point for stage director and playwright Azade Shahmiri’s new evening of theatre. Here she weaves the unfinished, quasi­documentary film footage by film director Hamid Jafari with subtle live moments. Three characters talk about life in present-day Iran, overcoming the constraints of time, place, and body. The stories are incomplete, open, interwoven, underscoring the permeability of identities. Like Voicelessness before it, which was presented at the Wiener Festwochen in 2019, Quasi is a powerful reflection on the emergence of narrative; it too illustrates the need for resistance to oppressive circumstances. Another world is possible!
