Episode: 170 Dual - Peyvand Sadeghian

Elaine and Louise chat with actor/writer Peyvand Sadeghian about her show Dual دوگانه on from the 17th – 28th August @ Pleasance Dome @2.55pm. We chat about the inspiration for the show, Peyvand’s own life as a dual citizen of Britain and Iran, peoples preconceived ideas of Iran and dismantling them, the big training question and creating your own work. We also talk about how close we all live to ending up living in a dictatorship. We must fight the good fight.
Another brilliant episode with another brilliant human.

Dual دوگانه

One woman, two passports, two names: Peyvand is British, Parisa, Iranian.
As a child Peyvand visits Iran with her father. They're held by the Iranian government, unable to return to the UK. Spoiler: They did eventually return. But what of Parisa? An award-winning solo show made in collaboration with a multi-national team featuring drag, animation, and the voice of Pedar (if you know, you know). Peyvand and Parisa fracture and multiply to an Anglo-Persian pop soundtrack. They ask how they can be advocates for themselves and allies to each other.
