About the show

Layla, an Iranian refugee, escapes war and rebuilds herself in American television. But when her dream begins to fracture, the past she once fled quietly returns. Long Way Home is a solo performance blending humour, storytelling and cultural insight. Tracing the distance between survival and identity. From Tehran to broadcast studios, it asks what must be sacrificed, reshaped or concealed in order to be seen. And how do you find home when it feels like you've left it behind? Directed by Sepy Baghaei. Dramaturg – Pilar Alessandra
