Svalan
Svalan was a pantomime performance written and performed by Faryad Sayadi and Elnaz Akbari. This heartfelt piece also explored forced migration due to war and displacement. Even though there were no words spoken through out the piece, the universal story of love and longing in the time of war was well captured. (Fun fact: This piece was written specifically for MME and its performance on the 3 rd of December was the first time the actors performed it in public. It was also Elnaz Akbari’s debut).
