Black Fish is a poetic psychological drama exploring migration, memory, language, and belonging. Blending storytelling, movement, live performance, and surreal imagery, the play begins with a late-night immigration interview that slowly transforms into something stranger, more intimate, and deeply unsettling.
Inspired by classical Persian storytelling traditions. Black Fish moves between reality, dreams, and memory to explore what people carry with them when they leave home behind.
Intimate, haunting, and emotionally charged, the show invites audiences into a world where borders are never only physical, and where forgetting can sometimes feel impossible.
Absolutely commanding performance by very talented actors, clever use of minimal props and a window into struggles most of us in Western society don’t even think of never mind encounter in life.
