There are uprootings from which one never recovers, which tear families apart for generations. Shady Nafar speaks to us about this rift.<div> There are uprootings from which one never recovers, which tear families apart for generations. Shady Nafar speaks to us of this rift. Torn between East and West, lulled by the stories of Iran told by her exiled father, she long fantasized, feared, and dreamed of returning to the land of her Iranian family, a return she finally makes as an adult. With exquisitely crafted prose, she delivers an intimate and poignant narrative. A story of heritage, discovery, and preserving memory.</div><div><br></div><div> On stage, father and daughter – long isolated from each other by a context of political events over which neither of them has any control – converse in an interweaving of words, silences, and glances, and find each other again in a moving way.</div>
