The performace is for viewers aged 15 and over.

A poignant tale of exile, a cry for freedom.

Mina Kavani had to leave her country, Iran, because she dreamed of a theatre and cinema far removed from dictatorship and censorship, and like a whole generation of artists, she dreamed of going elsewhere. After 9 years in exile and starring as the leading lady in Sepideh Farsi's politically committed film Red Rose, she is now dreaming of Tehran.

”I'm Deranged” is about pain and suspended life, a woman's journey through dictatorship and exile. Alone on stage, Mina dissects her feelings of exile, mixing dreamlike, poetic, grotesque and surreal registers. Carried along by the enveloping music of Siavash Amini, Mina Kavani takes us into her heart and head.

Mina Kavani: ”I'm deranged” are my dreams, my nightmares, my desires, my finished and unfinished passions: it's my exile. The exile that began in Iran, imposed by the Islamic Republic when I was a child, where we were -already- exiled in our house, in the streets of Tehran. I was a foreigner in my own country, dreaming of elsewhere, and this exile continued in France...

”With rage, salvific fury, the actress radiates the stage with an inner fire made of anger, wounds and immeasurable love for her land. Resonating with the burning news of Iran where a revolt is rumbling, I'm deranged is a cry in the night of a woman in search of light and a crazy hope. Incandescent and necessary!”.
