ECHO

Show & Culture

EN ECHO (Every Cold-Hearted Oxygen) is a groundbreaking theatrical experiment from Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour, known for his boundary-pushing works, and director Omar Elerian. Each performance features a different, unprepared performer, who steps onstage with no prior knowledge of the script and is guided only by Soleimanpour’s words transmitted live. The audience witnesses a story unfold in real-time, as the performer navigates the playwright’s deeply personal reflections on family, immigration and belonging. Blending theatre, technology, and autobiography, ECHO reimagines theatre in an age of climate crisis. Intimate yet expansive, this singular experience unfolds anew each time, reminding us that home is not a place, but a feeling.
