Synopsis

"They say the past is another country” — a warning against nostalgia. But what if you’ve been unjustly banished from that country?
 

Unattended Objects is a poetic, multimedia solo show that tells the autobiographical story of a journalist in exile. After years of trying to stay factual, objective, and clear, he finds himself in a suspended reality — where perhaps being dreamy, resentful, even dodgy is the only way forward.
 

This intimate performance explores the tug-of-war between past and present, between ‘here’ and ‘there’. Through video, sound, and a rare, sensory journey into the alleyways of Tehran, we enter the inner world of a displaced mind — fragmented, searching, but defiantly alive.

Unattended Objects is created by longterm collaborator and associate dramaturg Maghsood Salehi and in association with Seemia Theatre.

Unattended Objects is commissioned with Seed Funding from Camden People's Theatre and artsdepot's Platform residency.
