In his debut Shiraz, tell me about the revolution? actor and playwright Farbod Fathinejadfard traverses the different worlds he has grown up in. He dissects the two systems that turned him in who he is today. Fathinejadfard confronts us with the reality of government agencies who reduce him – and countless others – to a mere plaything. He painfully exposes how his human enthusiasm clashes with the blunt objectivity of the established power structures.
