A Grey Night
A dramatic reading exploring the human realities of contemporary Iranian society
On a grey night in a cemetery in Tehran, a father arrives to reclaim the body of his child. But what awaits him goes beyond the grief of losing someone he loves.
Surrounded by the dead, he is forced to witness a transaction in which death becomes a number and a human life becomes a file.
700 million tomans.
Not to save a life, but to retrieve and transport a body.
This demand lies at the heart of A Grey Night, a story in which even the right to mourn becomes painfully complicated.
Through theatre and dramatic storytelling, A Grey Night explores the experiences of grieving families, loss, unfinished mourning, and the difficult human realities reflected in contemporary Iranian society.
The work pays tribute to those who went unseen and to voices lost amid the noise.
A work by Minoo Nobahari and Hossein Afsahi.
