Program Notes
Program Notes (short version): This piece is written based on stories of political prisoners in Iran and tries to capture the moments of decision-making and the psychological effects that prisoners go through. It also investigates different phases that political prisoners experience in solitary confinement. From the times they must spend time in solitary to the times they are brutally tortured. The end result of the piece is open and depends on the performers' choices.
