Artistic Statement

Mehrnaz is a playwright and deviser creating cathartic, critical theater over Skype calls to Iran, in chai shops in Queens, in Brooklyn backyards, during Washington Square Park protests, and yes, in traditional theaters as well.

She makes character-driven, liberationist, and theatrically bold comedies fueled by experimentation and collaboration. She creates theater to disrupt stereotypes through comedy, passion, and the nuances of our shared flaws, emphasizing intersectional femininity and queerness from the global south.
