1979: Persianality Disorder
Sepideh Kaav • Semi-professional company
About Sepideh Kaav
1979: Persianality Disorder is a dark, satirical solo show by Sepideh Kaav, a semi-professional company performing at the Main Room. The show draws on the experience of growing up in post-revolution Iran, moving to Europe, and choosing radical honesty as a response to both. It moves freely between the political and the personal, with Sepideh agreeing with assumptions people make about Iranian women — and then making things worse. Running 60 minutes, the show is for ages 16 and over and costs £2.50.
Why see this show?
Dark satire that moves between the personal and political without warning — Sepideh Kaav's approach to the assumptions made about Iranian women is disarming and consistently funny. Solo stand-up at its sharpest for just £2.50.
